Hi!

I recently got to know evalIf function. I have succesfully used it for e.g conditional emit statements based on whether certain parameter is true or false. Now I would like to do similar thing but the condition in evalIf statement should be based on whether it is true (or false) that length of a list created from a parameter value (len(list({{^Param1^}})) > 1. Is this possible?

The first parameter of the evalIf function must be a constant literal boolean value. It can be a literal TRUE|FALSE that comes from a boolean parameter or can be a constant value expression that produces a TRUE|FALSE. It cannot be a variable expression that produces either TRUE|FALSE.

In this case you should use the If Then Else statement.

value = if {{^Param1^}}.len() > 1 then <some value> else <alternate value>

Thanks,
Larry

I guess I would have needed evalIf as <some value> and <alternate value> are in my case emit statements with different field sets.
