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".)
