Hello Everyone,

The normal way to write the conditional statement is:

IF variable1 = variable2 THEN ..................

I found that sometimes this fails? And if I write:

IF (variable1) = (variable2) THEN ................

IT WORKS!

Some of my settings are:
SET ZERO ON
SET EQNULL ON
SET WHILEOPT OFF
SET NULL -0-

        Can anyone explain to me the use of parenthesis under this
condition?  When we should and when should not use them?  This issue has
plagued me for years but I am really stumped and need a little help from the
Gurus.
THANK YOU,
