FW: EL _ Strings

["M. Simms" <prosys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep...that is the only way....there is no "booltostr" conversion.
For this very reason, I use number variables despite being less efficient.

Plus, there is no way to "optimize" with booleans as parameters...is there ?

Try the following code:


   Var: Str1("");
   if <your_variable> then Str1 = "TRUE" else Str1 = "FALSE";


then use the variable Str1 in your FileAppend statement.
