Hey Craig

>I can see that, but there is also an old rule, "One command per line". You can argue that STORE is one command, but I can also argue that assigning a value to more than one variable at a time is multiple commands. In this case, it's a matter of preference.

Right off. I'm not arguing against you. I'm looking for good practices. So then this:

STORE 1 TO ;
m.lnVar1, ;
m.lnVar2, ;
m.lnVar3

is bad, but this is good?

STORE 1 to m.lnVar1
STORE 1 TO m.lnVar2
STORE 1 TO m.lnVar3

Do you then also do single replace commands instead of one big one?

How about update and insert. Do you do one field per?

Is there some harm in putting them all together in one line?
