RE: Its Friday

Michael,
Looks like you take the "nice" prize - good stuff!

And, for Brad, this minor variation:

set :smiley = case when :a in (:field1,:field2,:field3)
then happyface else nohappyface end;

And for Charles, you to take my "best laugh prize" -
my cubicle neighbor asked "what's so funny",
but he's not a programmer.

Thanks everyone for the good time!

Even faster using an array and SQL.

According to how many CHAINs or SETLLs you estimate you are going
to do, and the number of entries in the file, many times reading
through the file once up front and building an array can be much more efficient.

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!

Rather than having an "in" operator, you might consider an "in"

Write your own. Add it to a service program. Call it from anywhere.

if in(MyCharVar:'A,B,C');
MyFace = ': )';
Else;
MyFace = ':(';
Endif;

Ever wonder why there is no If IN (not to be confused with *IN) ?

If MyCharVar In ('A','B','C');
MyFace = ': )';
Else;
MyFace = ':(';
Endif;
