Y'all

There was just a post about using NOT and IN in a logical test - 2 of us responded to add parentheses.

So I did look up operator precedence in the ILE RPG Reference and found this list -

The following list indicates the precedence of operations from highest to lowest:
1. ()
2. Built-in functions, user-defined functions
3. unary +, unary -, NOT
4. **
5. *, /
6. binary +, binary -
7. =, <>, >, >=, <, <=, IN
8. AND
9. OR

Higher precedence are done before lower. Operations at the same level are done left to right, except **, it says.

BTW, an expression like this, putting NOT with IN -

     IF FV(i).data_type NOT IN %list('NUMERIC' :'CHAR');

is not valid in RPG, while it IS valid in SQL, IIRC.
