ID: Q104470

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

You receive the error message, "Missing operand."

CAUSE

Using the operators =, <, and > in the wrong order will cause the error message "Missing operand."

The correct way to use these operators is with the < or > first, and then the = sign. For example:

   x => y     causes "Missing operand" error (x and y are any numbers)
   x =< y     causes "Missing operand" error
   x >= y     Correct
   x <= y     Correct
