Re: single Line If stateement

I regularly use it the way John suggested, otherwise I write the whole if.

Years ago, a boss of mine did something like this

If Identity = Yes:'Y':'N';

which doesn't compile.

If the variable being assigned was an indicator, then perhaps you are

thinking of something of the form

my_ind = (test > threshold);

No IF at all, but it's one line, which folks who don't know (or don't

like) that idiom would do like this:

if test > threshold;

my_ind = *on;

else;

my_ind = *off;

endif;

But if you really are thinking of a character variable, taking on

possibly 'Y' or 'N', then the custom subprocedure (function) approach

is the nicest I can think of. (Maybe some would say "use embedded SQL

instead".)
