This is my script. I am pulling the status of some hard where, but the status is in numerical form. The number 4 means Major and the 5 means Critical. In my script I would like to show the alarm type in aplha rather than numeric form. So if instead of seeing a 4 or 5 you would see MAjor or Critical. I want to use an if becuase I have a few more types but I am trying to keep it simple so I can grasp the concept. I also attached a sample out of my commmand file.

tacg=`echo "select a.neinstanceid, a.almacgcomentseverity, b.neinstanceid, b.nename from nmo_almacgcomentry a, neentry b where a.neinstanceid=b.neinstance
id group by b.neinstanceid, b.nename, a.neinstanceid, a.almacgcomentseverity" | /usr/informix/bin/dbaccess $db`

echo "

b.neinstanceid.| b.nename | a.neinstanceid.a|a.almacgcomentseverity|
---------------|-----------|-----------------|----------------------|----"

echo $tacg

if [ "" = "4" ]
then {
="Major"
}
fi

if [ "" = "5" ]
then {
="Critical"
}
fi

Output currently:
Here is the put without the if statments...........................
