When I first read this e-mail, I had a flashback.
As an ex-mainframe COBOLer of multiple decades,(now an RPG'er for 1 decade)
this code took me back to my UNIVAC 1108 days where there was an extension
by UNIVAC to COBOL
var1 = (var2 = value)
which meant change BOTH var1 AND var2 to value
var1 and var2 being fields (NOT indicators)
and for the reason of someone else maybe following and making changes to
the RPG program I will ALWAYS use
if var1 = var2;
  namedIndicator = *on;
else;
  namedIndicator = *off;
endif;

over :-

namedIndicator = (var1 = var2);

Do people like or dislike this type of code:

/free
  var1 = (var2 = value);

  namedIndicator = (var1 = var2);

/end-free

Thanks in advance for any opinions,
