Hi,

it's not the same thing !

when you code
IF Control ()
AND Extract ()
AND Calculate ()
AND Output ()
RtnVar = *ON
ENDIF

Extract() won't occur if Control() returns *off, that's why I wrote
about obfuscation

Takken, Cor a écrit :
Much better I think, or if you feel brave:

RtnVar = Control () AND Extract () AND Calculate () AND Output ()

Allthough I would be one of the first to admit that this alternative suffers from clearity and therefore maintainability.

I like that, thanks.
How about this, based on your example?

This is just a very basic procedure that performs several tasks that
must all be completed correctly in order to return the condition *ON.

Anyone got any more?

RtnVar = *OFF

IF Control ()
AND Extract ()
AND Calculate ()
AND Output ()
RtnVar = *ON
ENDIF

EXSR ERROR

RETURN RtnVar

BEGSR ERROR
...do stuff here...
IF RtnVar
Code for OK
ELSE
Code for error

ENDSR

David,

An even sompler coding change would be to change to the following:

IF NOT Control ()
EXSR ERROR
ENDIF

IF NOT Extract ()
EXSR ERROR
ENDIF

IF NOT Calculate ()
EXSR ERROR
ENDIF

IF NOT Output ()
EXSR ERROR
ENDIF

RETURN *ON

BEGSR ERROR
...do stuff here...
RETURN *OFF
ENDSR

Hi,
Do you mean replacing something like this ( which is what I see often
) :......

IF NOT Control ()
RETURN *OFF
ENDIF

IF NOT Extract ()
RETURN *OFF
ENDIF

IF NOT Calculate ()
RETURN *OFF
ENDIF

IF NOT Output ()
RETURN *OFF
ENDIF

RETURN *ON


....by something like this?

RtnVar = *ON
IF NOT Control ()
RtnVar = *OFF

ELSEIF NOT Extract ()
RtnVar = *OFF

ELSEIF NOT Calculate ()
RtnVar = *OFF

ELSEIF NOT Output ()
RtnVar = *OFF

ENDIF

RETURN RtnVar
