Hello: I've got a subrutine that I want to use to check to see if one of three variable combinations are in use. If not one of these, it will print an error message. However, if I set the variables to the proper combination, I'm still erroring Out. Thanks: 
sub chkfmt {
     if (
!(($DISCPCNT ne "") and ($DISCDAYSDUE ne "")  and ($NETDAYSDUE ne "") 
+and (($DISCDUEDATE eq "") and ($NETDUEDATE eq "") and ($TERMSDISCAMT 
+eq ""))
     or
!(($DISCDUEDATE ne "") and ($TERMSDISCAMT ne "") and ($DISCPCNT eq "")
+ and ($DISCDAYSDUE eq "") and ($NETDUEDATE eq "") and ($NETDAYSDUE eq
+ ""))
     or
!(($DISCPCNT ne "") and ($DISCDUEDATE ne "") and ($DISCDAYSDUE eq "") 
+and ($NETDUEDATE  eq "") and ($NETDAYSDUE eq "") and ($TERMSDISCAMT e
+q ""))
)
   {print TSERROUT "If a discount is offered, Sports Authority wants o
+ne of these formats:\n
1) Discount Percent, Discount Days Due, and Net Days Due.\n
2) Discount Due Date, and Discount Amount.\n
3) Discount Percent, and Discount Due Date.\n";
}
