| Subject: | %IF usage to compare Strings |

Hi Guys,
Question1
I am having problems with comparing Strings using %if in a macro setting.
For example : I know that CommandString = Slope ;
But I want the Value of the macro variable : i.e.
CommandString = Slope ; Level ;
whenever CommandString = Slope ;
I use the following code:-
%if &CommandString=slope %str(;) %Then %CommandString=level%Str(;)slope%str(;);
But unfortunately, the above code returns False even though its True.
Question2
Is there a way to break out of a loop in Macro? Inother words if a loop in the macro returns an error, it keeps repeatingt till the program crashes....in other words is there a way I can break oout of the loop dynamicaly and resume it with a new dataset?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Many Thanks !!
