    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    Ok...to reach me: Syngent domain: hotmail.com Most of you here agreed with me; and as I mentioned before, I would like to get title/credentials, experience and any relevant professional information from each of you...your professional opinions will be very valuable in the upcoming days. If...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    GREAT idea! But is there a way to send private messages to people? I looked around, but I can't find anything like that. If not, I'll give out my EMail address on this forum, but I thought I'd check for a private way to send it first.

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    I'm very sorry to bother everyone again, but this is somewhat urgent. I may need to document all of your opinions to use in my defense in the very near future. I would greatly appreciate it if you would all provide me with your major credentials: Your job titles at work, how long you've been...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    WMK, did you ever get around to finding those IBM references you mentioned (above)? I didn't see anything else here, so I was just checking. Hope everyone is doing fine! I was on vacation, but now...back to work. UGH! X-P Happy New Years, everyone! Hope your holidays were all great! :-)

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    Oh, would you please! I'd GREATLY appreciate that! TonHu and Glenn9999: Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a different place at the moment. Just a move to a different team within my workplace would probably help, which is possible...but I'm in a very unusual situation (due to outside...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    Thanks for all the additional input, guys. Actually, I have a new wrinkle for everyone. I'm being forced to re-write code I'd done previously with END-IFs because everyone pressured my supervisor to change the standard back to periods-only (previously I'd been "allowed" to use END-IFs in...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    jmanj, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that you have old and new (or at the very least, "varied") systems in your shop that require an older standard (EVALUATE is from a newer standard). So your situation makes sense for you. :-) But that situation isn't the case where I am...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    Thank you all so much for your encouragement! It is very frustrating when you know a better way, but you get slammed by people for personal reasons and/or their own personal preference (regardless of what may be better); and they invest a lot of effort in justifying their way and trashing...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    Oh, now I agree RICHINMINN, END-IFs CAN be overused (and I agree that EVALUATE should be used for multiple conditions). At first, our supervisor grudgingly allowed END-IFs for use with NESTED structures only, which made good sense...even though my habit is to automatically use them, I'll admit...

    Need arbitrator: END-IFs and EVALUATE...

    This question is open to everyone, and I would appreciate your responses on these. 1) Can someone tell me what their professional opinion of (and their installation's standards/guidelines on) the use of explicit scope terminators like END-IF/ENDIF? I use them because they're clear and (as...
