To make code easier to read when you want to perform some logic on the first TRUE condition that you encounter, instead of using cascading IF THEN ELSE, you can use a CASE TRUE statement (it works because a CASE enters the first block that has a condition that matches the criteria of the CASE).

When you are looking for a way to improve the maintainability, the efficiency, the speed, the general quality of your ABL code or for new ways to do things through small changes easily implemented, here is the place to look for.
