I am not going to try again.  believe me, there is more to these expessions
but everything after the "equals" sign is being dropped.

Something is wrong with my e-mailer? It didn't send what I typed. Let me
try again:
C If (this
C And that
C Or (this
C And that
C do this ....
C EndIf

Restated, I read your desire this way:
C If (this C And that C Or (this C And that C do this
C EndIf
Unfortunately, the parentheses make all the difference in the world. Your
example can't have parentheses so you end up with a totally left to right
expression. As you already know, a totally left to right expression just
won't do what you want done, so you'd need two if/endif groups in RPG.
One more compelling reason for using RPGIV You already understand RPGIV,
its RPG that is giving you trouble.
btw, in RPG I'd code this way:
C that ifeq 'that'
C this ifeq 'otherthing'
C this oreq 'Thing'
C do this
C EndIf
C Endif

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.
