compare always returns false

[nikos101]

can anyone see why this always returns false     regardless of ObservedType??

<cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>

    <cfif arguments.trade.ObservedType eq 'C'>

        isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

    </cfif>

    <cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>

        isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

    </cfif>

When in doubt, look at your data.  My technique is:

if (something)

output yes

else

output no and whatever I was checking.

By the way, what is this checking - <cfif arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>  ?  Is that a boolean variable?

This code misses the cfset tag. You could try something like

<cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = false>

<cfif trim(arguments.trade.ObservedType) eq 'c' OR arguments.trade.ignoreBarrierStyleAndObserved>

     <cfset isNullfwdExtraWindow = true>

</cfif>
