Help needed to set up en expression

2004-09-28 13:11

I have following expression all I want to do is if life status equal Alive I want to return 3 else 10. Expression is double type. I get inconvertible error. Life status is a query field of type varchar2 in Oracle

 

($F{LIFE_STATUS}.equals("Alive"))?3:10

 

I also tried:

 

($F{LIFE_STATUS}== "Alive")?3:10

 

That also gave me error.

 

Thanks

Expressions must evaluate to an object, not a primitive. You need to make it:

 

$F{LIFE_STATUS}.equals("Alive") ? new Double(3) : new Double(10)
