Difficulty isn't the issue, easily differentiating what was changed in source history is the issue. When an single line IF is converted to a block IF there is a change to a line and additional insertions. When starting with the block if from the start, if more needs to be done based on the conditional there is insertions without the change to the original line. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith W.
