from either: integer n1,n2:ns,n3:nv=1is translated into the much more verbose:
if (0==fetch('n1','d',n1)) then call seperr('Could not obtain n1 from either') end if if (0/=putch('From either: n1','d',n1)) then call seperr('trouble writing n1 to history file') end if if (0==fetch('n2','d',ns)) then call seperr('Could not obtain n2 from either') end if if (0/=putch('From either: n2','d',ns)) then call seperr('trouble writing n2 to history file') end if if (0==fetch('n3','d',nv)) then nv=1 end if if (0/=putch('From either: n3','d',nv)) then call seperr('trouble writing n3 to history file') end if
