Even faster using an array and SQL.

According to how many CHAINs or SETLLs you estimate you are going to do,
and the number of entries in the file, many times reading through the
file once up front and building an array can be much more efficient.

Because we "don't hardcode". :) We will chain to a file to see if it's
a valid value instead of hardcoding an IN statement.

myvalue CHAIN myfile;

if (%found(myfile));
myface = HAPPY_FACE;
else;
myface = SAD_FACE;
endif;

Shoot, even though they're constants it's still hardcoding.. I'll have
to create a face emotion master file of some sort!

Rather than having an "in" operator, you might consider an "in"

Write your own. Add it to a service program. Call it from anywhere.

if in(MyCharVar:'A,B,C');
MyFace = ': )';
Else;
MyFace = ':(';
Endif;

Ever wonder why there is no If IN (not to be confused with *IN) ?

If MyCharVar In ('A','B','C');
MyFace = ': )';
Else;
MyFace = ':(';
Endif;
