RE: code question

It will be true when cfco = 9 and cfacct = 1919 *OR* when cfacct = 2020. This is the type of expression where free format really helps out since now you have to figure out if this was intentional or not. Assuming this was intentional, you could write it this way in free format:

If (cfco = '9' and cfacct = '1919') or (cfacct = '2020')
do whatever
EndIf

If this is not intentional (i.e. cfco should always be checked), you could write it this way:

If (cfco = '9') and (cfacct = '1919' or cfacct = '2020')
do whatever
EndIf

In either case, it is perfectly clear what the expression is doing. Sticking with fixed format, I'd write my second example this way:

cfco ifeq '9'
cfacct ifeq '1919''
cfacct oreq '2020'
.... do whatever
endif
endif

which I find easier to read than Michael's example (they are functionally the same).

This code will be true whenever cfacct = '2020' doesn't matter the value
of cfco. If you want to limit to '9' then you need to change to the
following.

cfco ifeq '9'
cfacct andeq '1919''
cfco oreq '9'
cfacct andeq '2020'
.... do whatever
endif

HI I have a question on this code.

cfco ifeq '9'
cfacct andeq '1919''
cfacct oreq '2020'
.... do whatever
endif


is there a problem here in that will it take any company 9 acct
(besides the 1919 and 2020)?
