I am kind of curious too.  It's gotten to the point where I avoid the IF
statement and use a SELECT.  Even for a simple one option.

It really makes you think.

For example, all of you people who use system().  Instead of using
if ErrorFlag<>0;

you instead
Select
When ErrorFlag=0;
...
When ErrorCPF=CPF....;
...
Other;
EndSl;

It just make you try to cover your bases better.

Jeff,

One question, why would you change the SELECT/WHEN to IF/ELSEIF?  In my
mind, the select makes it more obvious that a choice is being made between
mulitiple options.

Just curious,
