No.  Me, I think the only place that's really useful is in C
function-type macros, where you can't an "if" structure.  Personally, I
don't see this construct ever getting into RPG.


But even in C macros, the usefulness of the ternary operator is tempered by the fact that any macro operand is not supposed to be used more than once within the macro.


BTW, in the last RPG enhancement survey, the proposed %COND() built-in was chosen by 31% of the voters. But I agree with Barbara - there are too many other pressing needs in the language.

Cheers! Hans
