Why doesn't this work?

put  "blahblah"  / if cmp("head",section) and cmp("string2",var2);

It would seem like it ought to evaluate the whole condition and do the put
statement if it is true; I don't really understand why two cmp functions in
the condition should be the problem, just whether the entire condition is
true or false; of course, they would have to be different variables for them
both to be true at the same time.

Hi All,

Can the proc template IF statement
handle more than one CMP() function?

e.g. of a single function:

   put  "blahblah"  / if cmp(section,"head");
