Re: Nested IF, OR and AND in /free

No, a CASE structure (which is what I think you mean) is used to handle a series of values differently. The purpose here is to handle a series of values similarly.

While not EXACTLY an "in list" function, for the example below, there

is a hack...

If ( %scan(chk1 : '1|7|8|9') > 0 ) and chk6 <> '  '

Caveat: I used a pipe symbol to separate my listed values, so that

the technique works for fields of different lengths.  If chk1 were two
bytes long, then each of the elements in the list should be two bytes,
separated by some character that is never expected to be in the source
field.  This helps to ensure that scan will only match on string
patterns between the separation character.

You can't use a list on RPG Free

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

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
