If (function()) is actually what I try to avoid.  

- Below is what I'm usually do:
  
  If editScreenInput()
  ... Do something
  Else
  ... Do something else
  endif

  P editScreenInput      B
  D                      pi         n 

  C                  if somethingWrong
  C                  return  *off
  C                  else 
  C                  return  *on
  C                  endif 
  P editScreenInput      E

  The problem on above is that I can easily tell if *on means successful
or not successful.
 

- I plan to change above to become like below, which I think is more
intuitive:
  
  If editScreenInput() = successful
  ... Do something
  Else
  ... Do something else
  endif

  P editScreenInput      B
  D                      pi         n

  C                  if somethingWrong
  C                  return  not successful
  C                  else 
  C                  return  successful
  C                  endif 
  P editScreenInput      E

FWIW: If the test you intend to perform is something like: if
(function() == successful), then I would suggest you simply use the
boolean return value ... so it would be if (function()).
