Pro/Program IF statement issue

[g_spy20]

I have the following IF statement in my pro/program for my assebly:


IF QTY==4 | STY=="H" & QTY==3 & HND=="R"


This IF statement is used to turn on/off a part in an assembly. The "QTY==4" will not turn on the part, however the "STY=="H" & QTY==3 & HND=="R"" will. I have tried to reorder the two statements, but then "STY=="H" & QTY==3 & HND=="R"" will not work and "QTY==4" will. Essentially whatever follows the OR character works and whatever precedes it doesnt work.


I have had this issue with other IF statements as well. Please let me know if there are any character errors, other ways to convey this, etc.


Thanks.

Have you tried to put everything after the OR in brackets? eg.


IF QTY==4 | ( STY=="H" & QTY==3 & HND=="R" )

Yep, that should fix it. You gotta be careful when using OR and AND conditions together. They often negate each other.

It seems like that has worked.
