Yes, Albert, I completely agree with you about WHEN vs. IF. However, I
wasn't replying to David Foxwell's question about WHEN (which I felt was
already adequately answered) but rather was replying to Jon Paris'
assertion that people didn't write complex logical expressions in RPG
III. IF and WHEN are certainly different -- but IF _does_ qualify as
logical expression capable of becoming complex.

AND:

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 precedence.

But in my twisted mind, I ACTUALLY wrote this kind of code:

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

Cause I thought it was 'cooler'. Everyone else looked at it and couldn't
quite get their head around it. They also told me to -quit- doing it. I
think I had to agree with them.
