RE: Boolean expressions

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally, I'd go with something easier to understand:

If      (that='That' and (this = 'Thing' or
                                this = 'Otherthing'))
do stuff.......
EndIf

Subject: Boolean expressions


Being new to the as400 programming world, I would like some insight of how
RPG deals with expressions such as

this   ifeq           'Thing'
that   andeq     'That'

this    oreq        'Otherthing'
that    andeq    'That'

            do this

endif

Isn't it  redundant and if so equivalent of:

this    ifeq        'Thing'
this    oreq      'otherthing'
that    andeq  'that'

     do this
end if

How does RPG evaluate boolean expressions?

I've had some argumentation about this and do not agree with my superior on
this.
Thanks in advance.
