Shrug... I wrote complex logical expressions in RPG III.. I just didn't intermix AND/OR the way David demonstrated.

I'd do something more like this:

C *INKF IFEQ *ON
C CONDITION1 IFEQ FALSE
C CONDITION2 OREQ FALSE
...
C ENDIF
C ENDIF

That way, I didn't get confused by which one took precedence... starting a new IFxx statemnet controlled my precidence.

But I much prefer having parenthesis, and I can't see why someone would use the godawful IFxx/ORxx/ANDxx stuff today.

But many millions were debugged!

heh heh... You answered your own question, and you made the case for
giving up the old style.

Why not try the code, just as you want it (except change the if to a
when), and see if it works?
