>>As far as I know, vfp always stops evaluating the right remainder of a logical expression if the left part evaluates to an logical value that cannot be changed anymore by the right remainder. For example, in the case of IF A OR B, the B is no longer evaluated if A evaluates to True. In a same vein, in the case of IF A=0 or BB(), the function BB is not visited if A=0.

WHERE ( MOD(A,1000)#0 OR THERMO(A) )
