Hi All,

I am trying to do double looping across regions and countries.
Now I have two regions (Europe and FSU) and I am trying to perform the same operation across regions and countries. If a specify the region (i.e. %r="Europe") then the code works well, however, I receive an error once I add a loop for the two regions.

%rgn="europe fsu"
for {%r} {%rgn}

if %r="Europe" then %ctry="deu fra ita esp nld pol bel aut fin nor che swe eu"
endif

if %r="FSU" then %ctry="rus ukr aze"
endif

for %x {%ctry}
group {%x} demand_{%x}*
next
next

Any ideas what the issue can be? The code has already given me quite a lot of headaches...

Probably a case issue. When using “=“ to test whether two strings are the same, case matters.

Hi Gareth,
Thank you, it's all good now. It turned out the issue was with the 'endif' part (it should have been 'elseif').
