st: "If" in a local variable
Date

Hello all,
I want to set the value of a local variable, conditional of the value
of some other variable, but i think the option "if" is not availabe
for a local variable.
What i would like to do is the following:
local a= 1 if `b' > `c'
local a= 2 if `b' < = `c'
Any idea of how can i get those conditional values for the local variable `a'?
Thank you all in advance!
LM
