Re: Sampling

[Mark Verschell <verschell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marcelo,

	I haven't tried it explicitly, but I have found in general that
it is better to "build up" to the definition you want rather than try to
make 1 all inclusive definition. E.g.,

let tpts = if <cond1> then <A> else <B>
let xpts = if <cond2> then <C> else tpts

rather than

let xpts= if <cond1> then <A> elif <cond2> then <B> else <C>

On the other hand, looking more closely at your LET statement, you seem to
be missing a THEN:

let xpts = IF i[i=1:30] LE 10 then 300+5*(i[i=1:30]-1)/3 ELIF i[i=1:30] GE
11 and LE 20 THEN 305+5*(i[i=1:30]-11)/3 ELSE 310+5*(i[i=1:30]-11)/3On
