Changing Variables in Case Structure?

[JustinC]

Hi all,

I have a case structure. Based on whether the case is t/f I would like to change the value of two variables. If I put the two variables in the true part of the case strcture they can't be in the false part. How would I assign them values outside of the case structure? Could I refer to them numeorus times in the different cases? Thanks.

Couldn't you simply assign the values inside the structure, and put the variables outside to the right?

Im afraid im not 100% sure what you are asking.

Like this?

Here's the part of the code. Basically I have 4 values. I then compare two in order to determine which values to use. Should for example the value on left be greater, I want to write the two left values to a pair of vairables. Should the value on the right be greater I wish to write the two values on the right to the pair of vairables mentioned previously. I tried writing them in a case structure but I couldn't put the variables in both the true and false part of the case structure.

Bascially I would like to say in pseudo code if the four top values are w/x and y/z and the two new values are a/b

if w > y

a = w

b = x

if y > w

a = y

b = z

So something like this?

Yes! Exactly what I was looking for. Thnaks!

Yeah, I'm having fun this week.  Altenbach normally just beats me.  But he's busy having fun at NI Week and so I manage to get solutions in.
