Hi All,
Mark was quite correct: I didn't look at my example closely enough
before sending it.
Thanks to everyone who responded with some tips on this subject. I will
followup on in a bit with some more specific questions (and examples of
the approach I am using and an alternative one that, as Mark said, I
believe will work using a single transform record).
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I think you can do what you want with a single transform record. I was trying to see how to do that when I realized I don't understand your logic.
I the first line in your for loop you conditionally set flag=1. However, the only place you use the flag in the loop is in line 2 which will not be executed if flag was set in line 1. Then flag is unconditionally set back to 0 in line 4. I don't understand how etting flag=1 in line 1 do anything useful? I'm probably missing something.

Subject: Tips for doing conditional logic in EPICS records
Hi all,
I am looking for some tips on the best way to implement logic such as
the following using EPICS records:
flag = 1;
for (each new set of readings) {
if (readbackA == fixedVal1) flag = 1; else
if (flag == 1) setVal = readbackB; else
if (readBackC == fixedVal2) setVal = readbackD;
flag = 0;
}
For the initial setting I figured simply a record that includes the
initial value in the VAL field (and PINI set to "Yes"?).
The for "loop" would be simply an FLNK in the record (or last in a
sequence of records) that gets the new readings, triggering the
processing of the the record that handles the 1st if condition (in this
case, I have one record that gets them all at once).
At that point how to best to proceed is not obvious to me, and there are
probably lots of possibilities (A sequence of calcout or scalcout
records? Maybe a transform record?)
Suggestions?
