I didn't invent this situation. It's just one of the zillions of examples
that I inherit with my client's systems.
Under certain circumstances, a single data field contains multiple types of
data. This may be dependent on another field.
Thus, code like this exists:
IF REC<5>="N" THEN
PRINT OCONV(REC<6>,"MD2")
END ELSE
PRINT REC<6>
END
Sometimes both have a conversion and I do this to save typing lines:
IF REC<5>="N" THEN CONV="MD2" ELSE CONV="D2/"
PRINT OCONV(REC<6>,CONV)
Why not save another line :(and a processor cycle or two not storing
"CONV" ):
PRINT OCONV( REC<6>, (IF REC<5>="N" THEN "MD2" ELSE "D2/" ) )
