Just for grins, have you tried splitting the bifs into 2-3 separate
lines and checking the results in debug at each step?

As someone whom I respect taught me years ago, we don't care about
efficiency, but rather effectiveness.

Yes, one line looks niftier, but as has been well demonstrated, in this
case it creates confusion which can only lead to later chaos and doubt.

As a learning exercise this is a wonderful dalliance, but if left as one

line it becomes a time bomb waiting to cause grief in the future.

In my opinion.

Wouldn't a Data Structure work?

now this one is giving me trouble where there is a decimal point
involved...


The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result.

MMSS = %DEC(%SUBST(%EDITC(WKSCRTMIN :'X'):5:4):4:2);

MMSS = 4s2

I meant to say "your code will fail or become unpredictable if value
of
WKSCRTMIN is less than or equal to 999 .

%char will suppress leading 0. Your code will fail or become
unpredictable if value of WKSCRTMIN is less than 9999. You probably
want to consider changing the statement to be like below:
HHHH = %DEC(%SUBST(%EDITC(WKSCRTMIN :'X'):1:4):4:0);

The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result.

HHHH = %DEC(%SUBST(%CHAR(WKSCRTMIN):1:4):4:0);

HHHH = 4P0 AND WKSCRTMIN = 8P0

Can't figure out why I am getting this error.
