[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] How to use IF ELSE IF in put unformatted in Progress?

[Smokus]

I am having issues with a programm where I need to output different strings if a certain Database Field has a specific value.

Let's say I have a Database called TestDB with following Fields Name, Age, Currency

I am outputting the data into a .csv File so my company uses for that a lot of put unformatted statements.

The "output" part would look something like this:

put unformatted

TestDB.Name ';'
TestDB.Age ';'
if TestDB.Currency = 1 then 'Euro' else ? ';'
if TestDB.Currency = 2 then 'Dollar' else ? ';'
if TestDB.Currency = 3 then 'Kuna' else ? ';'
if TestDB.Currency = 4 then 'Pound' else ?
skip.

The problem with these if's is that if Currency is 1, it will output Euro, but for other if's still output ? in .csv File. I want these if's to be structured like: if... else if... else if... else So if the 1st if is correct, then all other if's would be skipped.

I tried in multiple ways, but failed every time. Could someone help me out please?
