Yvonne,

The format of your 'if' is incorrect:

You have <:if .....> it should be <dtml-if.....>

so the whole statement is as Jens says below.

Hi,

Arguments |  team

Query template

<dtml-if "team == '5'">
  select *
  from data
<dtml-else>
  select *
  from data
</dtml-if>

this is normal

but may it helps if you post the traceback of the error message

I have the O'Reilly book, but can't seem to find more
complete information on how to do 'if's' in a SQL thing.

Here's the scenario:
I have three different 'teams' and want to run a call
specific to each team. I am passing in three parameters,
two of which go in the sql statement, the other goes in 
the if statement:
<:if "team='S"'>
sql statement
<:elif "team='C'">
blah, blah
</:if>

It tells me it doesn't like the syntax of the 'if' (I have
stuff in the python file that lets me use ':' in place of
'dtml-'). I have tried all the flavors: "team=='S'",
"team=S", "team==S", etc. and it doesn't like any of
them.

If you guys know of another reference, please let me
know!

TIA,
