Re: Standards question: What is your feeling about %found &%eofvs. %found(file) & %eof(file) ?

I *do* qualify with file names, but I would replace that structure with a Select group:

chain key1 file1:
chain key2 file2;
Select;
When %found(file1) and
%found(file2)
processA
When not %found(file1) and
%found(file2)
processB
When %found(file1) and
not %found(file2)
processC
Other;
// by default neither has been found
processD
Endsl;

'cause I don't like a bunch of "else if's"

Just my personal preference.

Here is some code that is in one of our production programs

chain key1 file1:
chain key2 file2;
if %found(file1) and
%found(file2)
processA
else
if not %found(file1) and
%found(file2)
processB
else
if %found(file1) and
not %found(file2)
processC
else
// by default neither has been found
processD
endif;
endif;
endif;


and within each process there are other chains on other files


QUESTION: for those people who do NOT qualify with file names, how would
you handle this piece of logic?
