For the record, I wanted to point out that the above two methods do NOT
accomplish the same thing.  IMHO, the first is generally much prefered, as
it turns indicator CorrectRec either on *or* off based on the condition.
The second example using IF would need an else clause to do the same thing.
Otherwise the first time CorrectRec comes on it stays on if this is inside
an iterative loop.  It really only accomplishes the same thing when the
statements are only executed once, and CorrectRec has not been initialized
to *On elsewhere such as the D-spec.
