>Is an IIF() faster than an If-Else-Endif statement? One line should be faster then two lines. Additionally, in the following example: abc = IIF(true, .t. , .f. ) =========== function2() never is even processed by VFP (or FPW,FPD). Many languages process the second function, variable, etc. For some reason, when VFP reaches IIF(true, .t. it just returns to abc the .t. , and goes onto the next row.
