Switch Statement Message Mapping

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any way to reproduce a switch statement using the graphical message mapping?

Eg:

switch (value) {

case 1

map AA

case 2

map BB

...

...

thanks

use an IF else option.

OK. Doesn't make for a pretty mapping when there are 20 IF Else's.

Thanks,

Hi Gareth,

For simple mappings, a value lookup fixed (or not) might do it. or an UDF

[Shabarish_Nair · Accepted solution]

from a readability perspective, if there are a huge number of conditions, i personally prefer a UDF than using the standard if else function.

Hi, I used FixValues. This is the same as using a switch statement, and much easier that loads of If Else

Thanks.

Yes, it is possible.

If else is mainly to decide logic for onlly two different condition. If you want to simulate very similar to Switch for more than 2 or multiple condition, Use If without else for all the conditions except the last one where you can use if else.

Example: If you have 10 conditions, first 8 condition go with if without else and last two with if else.

Hope that helps
