Re: problem with chained if statements?



   From: jtc@redback.com (J.T. Conklin)

   I'm trying to write some user-defined commands to traverse and/or
   pretty-print some of the internal data structures used in our SW.  In
   the absense of a `switch' statement, I am using a chain of if .. else
   if ... else if ... else ... end statements.  Unfortunately it doesn't
   seem to work.

Try:

	   if ($status == $TASK_READY)
		   printf "READY    "
	   else
		if ($status == $TASK_DELAY)
		   printf "DELAY    "
	   else
		if ($status == ($TASK_DELAY | $TASK_SUSPEND))
		   printf "DELAY+S  "

I think the else and the if each need to be on their own lines.
