Re: Nested Ifs (was Procedures)

Sure.  If it is not the same variable being evaluated.  I've had this
situation but can't remember the actual variables involved.  Below is a
simplified example.  But I agree that most times if it is just reacting to
various values of #x, an evaluate is the easiest.

begin-procedure nested-ifs
If #x = 1
        !do something only if x = 1 that means you don't care about Y or Z 
anymore
        goto ENDPROC
else
        If #y = 2
                !do x=1 and y=2 thing, which means you don't care about Z 
anymore
                goto ENDPROC
        else
                !do x=1 but y <> 2 thing, but you still care about Z
        end-if

        if #z = 3
                !do x <> 1 and z = 3 thing
        else
                !do x <> 1 and z <> 3 thing
        end-if
el
end-if

ENDPROC:
end-procedure
