Can any please explain ?

[Richard D. Williams]

This is a simple case of misunderstanding.

I do not know of any program where "Bank" is equal to "Bank Cheque".

If you are going to test, use contains or a mid command.

if  : dd co "Bank"
then: draw(@af)="Bank Cheque";display

if  :mid(dd,"1","4") eq "Bank"
then: draw(@af)="Bank Cheque";display

Hope this helps,

Richard

P.S. I would also make sure there is not text after the word "Bank" by

if  : dd co "Bank  "
then: draw(@af)="Bank Cheque";display

if  :mid(dd,"1","6") eq "Bank  "
then: draw(@af)="Bank Cheque";display
