Re: [Hardhats-members] Easy M syntax question

[Greg Kreis]

If you put the condition on the command, it controls the entire command, while the argument's condition further refines it.  One way I could see doing it, would be to factor out a common AND term to the command condition.

I think someone (Maury?) posted a reason why it may be preferable to postconditionalize the argument, but I don't recall what it was. --- Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On this same topic... which is correct? Option 1: goto:(i>1) SomeLabel or Option 2: goto SomeLabel:(i>1) According to what is writen below, I would think Option 2, but I found the following line in XUP that looks like option 1. if ($get(DUZ)'>0)!(('$data(DUZ(0)))) do ASKDUZ^XUP goto:Y'>0 XUPAbort thanks Kevin --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your intuition is correct. only three Standard MUMPS commands have postconditional operators that apply to their arguments.The DO command, the GOTO command, and the XECUTE command. Quick question: if I see a command like this: DO RTN1,RTN2,RTN3:(A>1) Then does the postconditional operator affect the calling of functions RTN1 & RTN2 & RTN3, or just RTN3? I think it is just RTN3 Thanks Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
