<p><b>New page</b></p><div>There is a MUMPS function named $SELECT, (which can be shortened to $S) as explained by [[Ed de Moel]] on this MUMPS By Example [[http://207.192.157.194/Examples/function/select.htm $SELECT Page]].<br />
<br />
Similarly, there is a $S FUNCTION used in FileMan TEMPLATES, most commonly in PRINT templates, but available for INPUT templates, and SORT templates.<br />
<br />
There is a at least one difference between $SELECT in MUMPS and $S in FileMan.<br />
$SELECT in MUMPS will evaluate the "conditions" in turn, until it finds one that is true, then return the "result" associated with that condition.<br />
<br />
$S in FileMan will evaluate the "conditions" in turn, even after it finds one that is true, then return the "result" associated with the first condition that was true.</div>DavidWhitten
