The AND SELECT in QUIZ should be ANDing the condition to the SELECT. AND
SELECT is in QUIZ to add conditions to those already in use. It's there
because QUIZ started out as an ad hoc report writer. The idea was that
you would add the AND SELECT to refine the search. Of course you have to
re-read everything anyway. I know some that people use it to split
complex conditions but that wasn't the original idea. And because it's
not necessarily in the same position as the SELECT, it can confuse
things, as in a long report with an AND SELECT at the very end.

 

All that said, adding this is not necessarily complicated but in my
opinion, it's not a high priority relative to many of the other things
that have been requested. It's a convenience as opposed to providing new
functionality. Am I wrong?

 

Bob

	I have to agree with Peter on this.

	I never use it....but if it is something Bob can add in without
much effort, go for it.

	        Hi Robert:
	            
	             I never liked the AND SELECT IF because it really
was an OR. 
	 
	             IF         ( logical expression1 ) & 
	                 OR    ( logical expression2 ) &
	                 OR    ( logical expression3 ) &
	              ... 
	              etc 
	 
	        Regards,
	        Peter

	The addition of 'AND SELECT IF condition' to QTP and 'AND SELECT
file IF condition' to both Quiz and QTP would make it easier to code
(and understand) some of the more complex selection statements that we
have to work with.
