In that sense we have to consider the RTL as no longer expandable as all identifiers could be potentially used already, even &if! > 2. IIF should works like IfThen in Math or StrUtils.

There is one language that has an iif() intrinsic that evaluates only the taken branch: Oxygene. ;) Regards, Sven
