[APDL] Using characters in *IF command

[APDL] Using characters in *IF command

[APDL] Using characters in *IF command

(OP)
I want to use characters s,r and a pretty much like what we have in lsel command or any other selection commands in a macro as the selection type using *if command.

With numbers it works well but I could not find any way to get it run with letters instead.

Here is a simple macro. If for example we save it with .mac extension under "test" name (test.mac) when we execute test,a it must show the message "  you have entered a" and so on.

Where is my mistake?

/prep7

*if,arg1,eq,a,then
  *msg,ui
  you have entered a
*elseif,arg1,eq,b
  *msg,ui
  you have entered b
*else
  *msg,ui
  you have entered another letter
*endif
