Help with an error message: Boolean cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Hi all,
Anyone have any insights for me on how to resolve this error message?

Error evaluating antibiotics:
java.lang.ClassCastException:java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to
java.lang.String=> java.lang.ClassCastException[java.lang.Boolean cannot be
cast to java.lang.String]

The field "antibiotics" is a calculate field with the following
calculation:

if(selected(${medicina}, 'amoxicilina') or selected(${medicina},
'ampicilina_ampibex') or selected(${medicina}, 'bactrim') or
selected(${medicina}, 'benzipenicilina') or selected(${medicina},
'biconcilina_c') or selected(${medicina}, 'cefalexina') or
selected(${medicina}, 'azitromicina') or selected(${medicina}, 'nor
selected(${medicina},floxacina') or selected(${medicina},
'ciprofloxacina') or selected(${medicina}, 'cotrimoxazol') or
selected(${medicina}, 'dicloxacilina') or selected(${medicina},
'diclocil') or selected(${medicina}, 'garamicina') or
selected(${medicina}, 'gentamicina') or selected(${medicina},
'megacilina') or selected(${medicina}, 'paramomicina') or
selected(${medicina}, 'sulfas') or selected(${medicina}, 'sulfatiazol')
or selected(${medicina}, 'sulfatrim') or selected(${medicina},
'terramicina') or selected(${medicina}, 'tetraciclina') or
selected(${medicina}, 'trimetroprin') or selected(${medicina}, 'nr_ab')
or selected(${medicina}, 'augmentin') or selected(${medicina},
'benzetacil') or selected(${medicina}, 'cefuroxima') or
selected(${medicina}, 'claritromicina') or selected(${medicina},
'clindamicina') or selected(${medicina}, 'clor
selected(${medicina},anfenicol') or selected(${medicina}, 'duracef') or
selected(${medicina}, 'eritromicina') or selected(${medicina},
'izoniacida') or selected(${medicina}, 'pantomicina') or
selected(${medicina}, 'pirazinamida') or selected(${medicina},
'rifampicina') or selected(${medicina}, 'rocephin'), 'abs_si', 'abs_no')

I am later using this long field to only start a new group if the answer to
${antibiotics} is 'abs_no'

Would it be better to replace 'abs_si' with TRUE and 'abs_no' with FALSE
and then condition based on TRUE or FALSE in the subsequent group?

Thanks for any help anyone's able to provide

I think you just have an error in your formula, at the 5th line:

selected(${medicina}, 'azitromicina') or selected(${medicina}, 'nor

the last selected() is missing some characters and a closing parenthesis.

If these are medicines in a certain group (e.g., penicillin derivatives),
you might be better off asking first whether any derivatives have been
prescribed, and then asking which ones.

The first question is then equivalent to the above calculated value, and
the details of which were prescribed are gathered by the second question
(which is only relevant if you answered yes to the first).

Of course, this assumes a knowledgeable staff member is filling out the
form...

Thank you Mitch! I will try fixing that and seeing if that resolves the problem.
