These are two different conditions. They do not do the same thing at all. If the second is what is required, the first won't work for you, and vice verse.

With good long names and proper usage of constants, I don't
see it as being harder to read.


Consider
   SELECT;
 WHEN Customer.Type = 'A';
   ...
 WHEN  (Customer.Type = 'B'
                 or Customer.Type = 'C'
                 or Customer.type = 'D')
         and Customer.isTaxable = 'Y'
   ...
 OTHER;
   ...
ENDSL;

Charles, I don't have a problem with your example. I've also done similar things, but...

Consider
   SELECT;
 WHEN Customer.Type = 'A';
   ...
 WHEN  Customer.isTaxable = 'Y';
   ...
 WHEN  (Customer.Type = 'B'
                 or Customer.Type = 'C'
                 or Customer.type = 'D')
   ...
 OTHER;
   ...
ENDSL;


coded this way, I find it misleading.
