As a long-time assembler programmer and JCL wrangler, I absolutely think that COND is backwards, confusing, and the opposite of intuitive. Whenever multiple CONDs are present, I'm lost. Is it OR or AND and is that in the positive or negative sense?
The new* IF / ELSE / ENDIF statements are an infinite improvement. sas *"new" still means "in the last 25 years".
