Description mchris 2007-10-13 20:43:05 UTC 
iif function seems to evaluate both possible return values before deciding what
to return. For example the following code:

x=10
y=0
print iif ( y<>0, x/y, "error")

creates a "Division by Zero" runtime error instead of printing "error".

Isn't that "works as designed" ? 

Anyway, Andreas could you take this over?

Thanks

ab->kr: Right, "works as designed", VB6 behaves in the same way
