no nesting or NOTs needed

llSuccess = 1st_Logical_Test and 2nd_Logical_Test and 3rd_Logical_Test

which I think is much clearer code to indicate overall success is dependent on each individual test being .t.

>Just remove the "llSuccess = .F." lines above or the "OTHERWISE" clause depending on your preference. That DO CASE is the same as --

>LOCAL llSuccess
>llSuccess = .F.
>IF 1st_Logical_Test
>   IF 2nd_Logical_Test
>      IF 3rd_Logical_Test
>         llSuccess = .T.

>   ENDIF
>ENDIF
>RETURN llSuccess
