EEM Nested Conditional

[ling20125]

Hi all,

  I have an EEM script written using CLI that includes a nested conditional. I have no problem running only one of the conditional. However, if I nest one conditional within the other, it just gives me this "Missing "end" action in conditional block" message. Here is the basic core structure of my script:

foreach RUN A LOOP

  if CONDITION

     BLAH BLAH BLAH

     exit

     break //if the condition in the if block returns true, I want to do something and break out of the entire foreach loop. Do I use them (exit and break) both or just one?

  else

     BLAH BLAH BLAH

     exit

     continue //again, do I need them both or just 'continue'?

  exit //exit foreach loop

  if CONDITION //another IF conditional

     BLAH BLAH BLAH

     exit

end

  If nested conditional is allowed, is my script in the correct syntax?

Regards,

Angela

Nested conditionals are supported.  It's hard to see if there is a problem with your code or a problem with the device as you did not post your actual applet or IOS version.  However, from the pseudo-code above, it does appear you're missing an "end".  Here is a working applet I wrote to illustrate the nested conditional:

event manager applet nct 
 event none
 action 001 set var "5"
 action 002 if $var lt 10
 action 003  if $var gt 1
 action 004   if $var eq 5
 action 005    puts "Found it!"
 action 006   end
 action 007  end
 action 008 end

Note how each conditional must be terminated with an associated "end" action.
