Multiple Output Commands within if/else Errors

Hi Gang,

I'm trying to do add an extra command to an if/else statement in PICED and it keeps throwing errors

Error C006 at line 268:8 - Illegal symbol
Error C261 at line 268:25 - Tag Error



The individual lines work fine, as I can // each out and the active line compiles fine.


What am I missing?

I know I could code a whole extra module to do this but that's not efficient use of memory or time.

@Ashley @bmerrick @Wonkey if you could give me a pointer that would be appreciated.

Code:

{Sets EDLT Indicator colour based on tank temp to indicate dangerous tank temps}

//Code Tests every 3 mins
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to Blue of tank <= 25C
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to Red if tank >= 28C
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to White if tank >25C or <28C

once (Second = 17) then // IMPORTANT - don't run this code every cycle - once a minute is ample
    begin
    r_edtemp := GetRealIBSystemIO("Measurement App Real Value", 254, 1, 4);  
      
       if r_edtemp <= 25.0 then
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 30%, "0s")
//       SetLightingState("Tank Warning", ON)

       else
       if r_edtemp >= 27.5 then
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 60%, "0s")
//       SetLightingState("Tank Warning", ON)
      
       else
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 100%, "0s");
//       SetLightingState("Tank Warning", Off);
  end;

 

An IF takes a single statement (Actually everything in Pascal takes a single statement) , so you need to enclose the 2 statements in a BEGIN/END to make a compound statement:

Code:

{Sets EDLT Indicator colour based on tank temp to indicate dangerous tank temps}

//Code Tests every 3 mins
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to Blue of tank <= 25C
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to Red if tank >= 28C
//set to EDLT Page Key Indicator to White if tank >25C or <28C

once (Second = 17) then // IMPORTANT - don't run this code every cycle - once a minute is ample
    begin
    r_edtemp := GetRealIBSystemIO("Measurement App Real Value", 254, 1, 4); 
      
       if r_edtemp <= 25.0 then
       begin      // <----- HERE
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 30%, "0s"); // <---- and semicolon after each statement
       SetLightingState("Tank Warning", ON);
       end // <----- and here
       else
       if r_edtemp >= 27.5 then
       begin // <---- and here
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 60%, "0s");
/      SetLightingState("Tank Warning", ON);
       end // <--- and here
      
       else
     begin    /// <-- and here
       SetLightingLevel("EDLTTextColour", 100%, "0s");
       SetLightingState("Tank Warning", Off);
      end // <--- and here
  end;

 

Thanks @Ashley, I had found after much digging, an example suggesting exactly this.

Now having confirmed the process by reading ur reply I’ve tested and it’s now working.

I really appreciate u taking the time to reply.
