RE: Nested IF, OR and AND in /free

No love from RPG for that syntax. I seem to recall COBOL did it though......

Hi Tommy,

That is what I thought. :-(

Oh well.

Thanks for the input.



Thanx,

Nick

Unfortunately that won't work (oh how I wish it did!)

You're stuck with

If (chk1 = '7' or chk1 = '8' or chk1 = '9' )
Or (chk1 = '1' and chk6 <> ' ')

Hello everyone,

We are at V5R4.

I am trying to get more into using /free, after 30 years of programming.

I have included the following snippet of code that will not compile. I
get error RNF7421 on the compile listing.

I have also tried entering this using WDSC.

Can I do this code at V5R4?

/free
if chk1 = ('7' or '8' or '9')
or chk1 = '1'
and chk6 <> ' ';
/end-free


Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.



Thanx,

Nick
