While writing terse statements may save time, I personally don't use that style because it's not as readable to the naked eye if you have a bunch of those stacked together.

More lines of code to write it out, perhaps, but more readable definitely.

And I also document intent with comments as well to help out the uninitiated. That helped me a lot when I was the only maintainer for more than 10 products.

Better than hearing that old argument: "The code tells you what it does" and then looking at my own code and going WTF 😊

Code style is a non-winnable argument because we all think we do it the best.

Regards,
Richard Schoen

Write your ow subprocedure, because that is what iIf actually is.

So, yes, possible in RPG on any OS level.

Years ago, a boss of mine did something like this

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

which doesn't compile.

I found an article on by Ted Holt defining a function iif where he did
this

Identity = iIf(InIdentity:YES:NO);

I suspect this is what my boss was using.

Is there a way to do this directly in RPG, V7R3 release level?
