Very good trick, Cetin!

You should post this in FAQ section.
I also use similar technic with SQL statements, when UDF returns the same value back, really doing something else.

For example, this sample SQL is doing some maintenance work and immediately writes the changes to the CHNGLOG table.

PRIVATE old_value
UPDATE myTable SET myTable.target_date = REMEMBER_OLD_VALUE(myTable. target_date) , ;
target_date = IIF(change_condition() = .T., GOMONTH(myTable.target_date, 6), target_date) ;
target_date = WRITE_CHANGE(myTable.target_date, "TARGET_DATE") ;
WHERE condition1 = somevalue

where REMEMBER_OLD_VALUE() function stores the old target_date value in old_value variable, and WRITE_CHANGE() function adds the record to the CHNGLOG with information what table and field were changed, their old and new values, user id, datetime, etc., returning the passed target_date value back.
