Re: Evaluate complex conditions

Consider using REXX for this.

     Signal on Syntax        /* Catch not valid expressions */  
     Interpret 'I = ' rest   /* Evaluate the expression */      
     Return i

Subject: Evaluate complex conditions

Has anyone ever written or seen an example of program code designed to
evaluate complex conditions?  For example, if you wanted to evaluate a =
b and (c = d or c = e or c = f).  I'm looking for something that can do
multiple levels of parenthesis and all "and/or" combinations.
