Brad, this one's for you:

if If MyCharVar In (fileA.field1,fileA.field2,fileB.field99);
  MyFace = ': )';
Else;
  MyFace = ':(';
Endif;

Because we "don't hardcode".  :)  We will chain to a file to see if it's a valid value instead of hardcoding an IN statement.

myvalue CHAIN myfile;

if (%found(myfile));
  myface = HAPPY_FACE;
else;
  myface = SAD_FACE;
endif;

Shoot, even though they're constants it's still hardcoding..  I'll have to create a face emotion master file of some sort!
