RE: Matching Records

From: Ken Sims

Also, it serves as somewhat useful auto-documentation so that it's
clear which file is being processed since cycle-driven programs are
rare in our shop. For that reason I'm going to leave it in place even
though I normally take advantage of "short-circuiting" in condition
checking (as I did with the omission of *INMR on the third WHEN).

Yup, I agree with your comment and I can see why you'd leave the code in
place. The couple of CPU cycles per record is unlikely to affect
performance.

But in general, I try to always document short-circuiting. That's why I
love /free format and the ability to stick an extra comment on the end with
a double-slash (such as "// *INMR implied here").
