PBP IF statement nesting question

[lurker]

PBP version: 2.45A

I'm failing to see something obvious, apparently.

The intended behavior of the following code fragment is that the ELSE should associate with the first indented IF. Instead, it is being associated with the first non-indented IF.

IF fsmState = idleSt THEN

IF kpLastValue != kpValue THEN

hserout[CR, LF, "***DEBUG - idleSt, br: mainMenuSt ", CR, LF]
kpLastValue = kpValue
fsmNextState = mainMenuSt

ENDIF
ELSE
hserout[CR, LF, "***DEBUG - drawIdle check ", CR, LF]
IF sec != lineSecondsLast THEN

gosub drawIdle
lineSecondsLast = sec
lineMinutesLast = minute
lineHoursLast = hour
lineDayLast = day
lineMonthLast = month
lineYearLast = year
lineCenturyLast = century

ENDIF

ENDIF

How does one formulate the syntax to achieve the desired behavior?

Thanks-Dan

i read this quickly but think this is what u want , remove the commented endif

also try use code encapsulated when adding code to post ,

cheers

IF fsmState = idleSt THEN
    IF kpLastValue != kpValue THEN
       hserout[CR, LF, "***DEBUG - idleSt, br: mainMenuSt ", CR, LF]
       kpLastValue = kpValue
       fsmNextState = mainMenuSt
      ' Remove this   ENDIF i think 
    ELSE
       hserout[CR, LF, "***DEBUG - drawIdle check ", CR, LF]
 
        IF sec != lineSecondsLast THEN
             gosub drawIdle
             lineSecondsLast = sec
             lineMinutesLast = minute
             lineHoursLast = hour
             lineDayLast = day
             lineMonthLast = month
             lineYearLast = year
             lineCenturyLast = century
        ENDIF

   ENDIF

ENDIF

I appreciate the help with this.

If I comment out the ENDIF suggested, the compiler returns an error, "IF without a matching ENDIF" . There appears to be no way to make the first inner IF multi-statement. Is the ELSE broke in this situation?

Sorry about the non-encapsulated code segment.

Thanks-Dan

Did you add the third ENDIF at the end after commenting out the first?

And this code editor really helps in this situation

Try IF kpLastValue <> kpValue THEN instead of IF kpLastValue != kpValue THEN, because the IF/then/else/Endif structure seems correct.

No. I missed that.
Moving the ENDIF appears to work. I guess I'm too used to languages (verilog, etc.) that have a way of explicitly-delineating blocks of statements.

Thank you for the help!

That is where FineLine helps.

That is where FineLine helps.

I'll certainly give FineLine a shot.
Thanks-Dan
