I assume you mean IIF() and not IFF().

Try this:

nValue = 399
thisval = IIF(TYPE('nValue')='N',MONTH(DATE()),CMONTH(DATE()))
? thisval

Yes, you can assign the result of that function to a variable and use it as you need.

Sure why whould you think you could not?

IIF is just like any other function it returns a value which can be used anyplace you would use any other function.

Example

lswitch = .t.

x = iif(lswitch,'Blue','Red')

the value of x is 'Blue'

IIF() or Immediate If is just a replacement for:

IF COndition
Result2
ELSE
Result2
ENDIF

I use the IIF a lot for checking types like f.i.

LPARAMETERS tcParamaeter

tcParameter = IIF(VARTYPE(tcParameter) = 'C', tcParameter, Space(0))

In this case I make sure the parameter is always of type character and is by default an empty string.
