What does "If not, not" mean? Can the answer sometimes not be no? That would mean the test evaluates to false.
The code sets the value to 1 and then increments the value some number of times. Nowhere in the code is the value reset or decremented. How does that allow any condition other than the test will always be true? What difference does it make whether it is the first test or the 100th? :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of John Gilmore :>: Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 3:45 PM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: Re: Establishing and using Unix file system and USS under z/OS :>: :>: If the question :>: :>: | Can this ever be false? :>: :>: is really ellipsis for the question: Can this ever be false the first :>: time it is tested? :>: :>: the answer is no.
