Oh, good one! Yes, I do the same. Although I still insist on the positive
choice coming first, then the negative, in other words avoiding this
construction:
If Not Exists(Key, Collection, ox) Then
'what to do if not found
Else
'process ox if found
End If
It should be If <true>, then ELSE <false>.
Of course, this might work and then the issue doesn't come up:
If Not Exists(Key, Collection, ox) Then Abend Key & " not found!"
' ox was found; process

I try to code my IF; THEN; ELSE so the shorter branch (often a termination or
error EXIT or ITERATE) comes first.
