Syntax error with formcalc

Avatar

Level 1

I am using the code below to convert a numbered dropdown menu into a long text field:

form1.#subform[0].TextField1[0]::calculate - (FormCalc, client)

if (DropDownList2[2] eq "N/A") then

     TextField1[0] = ""

elseif (DropDownList2[2] eq "1") then

     TextField1[0] = "one long text"

elseif (DropDownList2[2] eq "2") then

           TextField1[0] = "two long text"    

endif

My problem is that the field works correctly but I am getting this error message:

Script failed (language is formcalc; context is

xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].#subform[0].TextField3[1])

script=if (

Error: syntax error near token '(' on line 3, column 0.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your code looks fine to me .....the error is indicating that the issue is on TextField3 but you have shown us the code on TextField1 .....is the code on TextField3 different?

The error massage is related to Textfield3 not Textfield1, so the script above isn't the problem.

There must be a script in Textfield3 which is wrong.
