Re: [q-lang-users] where

Albert Graef,

My thinking was about the use of if then else, cond, and case statements
and infinite recursion causing a segment fault on Linux. I was thinking
that the global "where" would cut down on some typing. However, the real
solution to my problem happens to be assert.q. Somehow I overlooked this.
Shame on me! Bug hunting just got a lot easier.

Thanks!

Eddie
