Yes, I probably wrote some of them myself. But you can't create an R:Base IIF function in a DLL because the DLL wouldn't have access to R:Base's expression evaluator nor to its environment to evaluate the truthfulness of the first argument. Only the R:Base engine can do that. You could write a simplified version in an R:Base stored procedure, passing the condition in as a string and evaluating it with macros substitution, but you'd be limited to using a single pre-determined type for the return values. This is a case where there's really no substitute to adding the function to the core language. -- Larry
