UDF problem with value comparison

Question

Dear Experts,
as I am not a Java-expert I need your help. I created a UDF (type ""QUEUE", also tried "CONTEXT" but did not work), which accepts 3 parameters from my input-XML file. For some reason, from the UDF I always get the value "O" back, even if for instance the Billingstatus1 = C.
In message-mapping, I mapped the node "BillingStatus1" directly to the input parameter of the UDF. The same goes for the other parameters.
Code of UDF:
if(BillingStatus1.equals("C") | BillingStatus2.equals("C"))
result.addValue("I");
else if(DeliveryStatus.equals("C"))
result.addValue("S");
else {
result.addValue("O");
Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!
William

Hi,
UDF looks like mixture of the contexts....
if it is QUEUE then arrays will be passed to the UDF you need to access the values using index...
i.e BillingStatus1[0]...also logical or is two pipes || not single pipe |
for ( int i=0 ; i<BillingStatus1.length;i++)
   if(BillingStatus1<i>.equals("C") || BillingStatus2<i>.equals("C"))
    result.addValue("I");
else if(DeliveryStatus<i>.equals("C"))
  result.addValue("S");
else {
result.addValue("O");
try above code
