Yup, you are old fashioned :). maybe is good idea to discuss "it then else" expression in dedicated thread "if-then-else expression". conclusion of this thread: *the best new name for "IfThen intrinsic" is iif* unless someone has a good opposite arguments? Pros for iif: - no conflicts with existing RTL code base (in this matter much much better than IfThen) - compatible with existing pascal solution (Oxygene) - short and logical name Cons: - a little different behavior than in other languages (but still compatible with Oxygene) - I like &if ;) -- Best regards, Maciej Izak
