"If %scan(x:y)" is not valid???

I dunno.

Well you are performing a check on the value so it seemed appropriate - you
aren't scanning.  I look at it from the maintenance perspective - if another
programmer sees %Check( ValidTypeCodes: TransType ) it just "spells it out"
better for me.

However - It shouldn't matter _what_ method you use 'cos it should never be
in the mainline code anyway - I'd rather see it buried in a subproc that
returns an indicator (thereby allowing the simple If you desire).  So what
should be coded is If Validxxxxx(xxxxxCode) or whatever.
