If I remember well, RPG will evaluate first the AND. It is treated as multiplication in several languages, not only RPG.

Naturally, since it *is* Boolean multiplication (just as OR is Boolean addition). In fact, in some abstract notations I've seen for Boolean Algebra, the AND and OR operators actually *look like* the corresponding operators for ordinary arithmetic.

Incidentally, according to some authorities I've heard (but pointedly NOT in Wikipedia), the "My Dear Aunt Sally" rule for operator precedence was not considered universal in mathematics until *after* it was considered nearly universal across programming languages.
