10.3 Labeling

MikeFroese — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 14:26:56 GMT

I have a label expression where I want to not display any building numbers greater than 1000. We went from 10.0 to 10.3. The script worked in 10.0 but not 10.3.

Function FindLabel ( [buildingNumber] )

if ( [buildingNumber] < 1000) then

FindLabel = [buildingNumber]

end if

End Function

Thanks for any help

Mike

What sort of side effects are you getting? Is Building Number a number or a string that represents a number? There appears to be nothing wrong with your expression....

I am running 10.4 and had a label script similar to yours and it runs with no problems except that the number is a string number so I had to convert the string to a number......

Function FindLabel ( [MDXID] )
if  Int([MDXID]) < 140 then
 FindLabel = [MDXID]
end if
End Function

Mike, can you make sure you are still using the same Parser to carry out this expression? It looks like this is for the VBScript Parser. It might be a good idea to make sure this is still the case.

I am using the same parser but get

'Carriage returns are not allowed in simple expressions.'

Mike,

Be sure the check the box for "Advanced" in the expression dialog:

I'm at 10.2.2, but I get your error if I try to use the expression without Advanced selected.

WOW! Do I feel dumb!

I completely overlooked the check box!

Thanks

Mike,

I am glad that it was an easy solution!
