Elgin,

It should be

     IF  !("PCB" $ UPPER(fluid)) ;
        AND !("PYRANOL" $ UPPER(fluid)) ;
        AND !("WECOSOL" $ UPPER(fluid))
* OR
     IF  NOT ( ("PCB" $ UPPER(fluid)) ;
        OR ("PYRANOL" $ UPPER(fluid)) ;
        OR ("WECOSOL" $ UPPER(fluid)))

>I am trying to figure out why the second IF statement is not working correctly. In my code the field tmpName.liquid contains "PCB "
>
>If tmpName.liquid contains any of the strings "PCB", "Pyranol", or "Wecosol" I want it to execute the ELSE condition. But no matter what I try it always ends up doing the first DO CASE statement. When I watch the statement !("PCB" $ UPPER(fluid)) in the debugger it shows .F. once I get to the REPLACE statement. Why does it still step to the next line - DO CASE, instead of going to the ELSE condition. I just don't get it.
