Personally I use the equivalent quite a lot in Excel - very useful for quick
"If x=0 then y= 0 else y=1" type stuff.  It is obvious and much shorter than
the five lines that RPG would require.

But RPG isn't Excel.

BTW, in RPG, if you wanted a shorter version of:

    if x=0;
       y=0;
    else
       y=1;
    endif;

you could code that in one line as:

    y = %int(x<>0);

I'll let you decide which is more readable. ;-)
