SYMPTOMS

When you use multiple indented IF statements in your .HTX file, the following error message appears:

   Error performing operation. The template file contains an endif
   without a matching if tag.

The following is a sample code:

   if ...
      if ...
         if ...
         .
         else
         .
         endif
      else
       .
      endif
   else
    .
   endif

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not use IF statements with ELSE for indented IF statements. The following is a sample code:

   if ...
      if ...
         if ...
         .
         endif
      endif
   else
    .
   endif

STATUS
