and (&&)
VALUE1
and
VALUE2

The and operator returns true if both operands are true.

Parameters

This operator has two parameters:

value1 – The first Boolean value.

value2 – The second Boolean value.

Description

The and operator combines two Boolean values by anding them together. In this example the value in the Age field or variable must be a number.

    if Age >= 13 and Age<20
        Status="Teenager"
    endif

The result is true if the person is 13 or older and if the person is less than 20 years old.

Note: The Boolean values true and false are actually integer (numeric) values -1 and 0 respectively.

Note: If you are a “C” programmer, Panorama’s and operator is equivalent to C’s && operator. (In fact, Panorama will allow you to use && if you wish.)

Error Messages

Cannot AND a number with text. – Both operands must be numbers. If either operand contains a text value, an error occurs.
