METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING CONDITIONAL PROGRAM OPERATIONS

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for implementing conditional logic statements within a computer program. Program logic is invoked in response to processing a first method statement. During the execution of the program logic for the first method statement, at least one operation is performed and a return variable is set to at least one of two values depending on an outcome of performing the at least one operation. Program logic is invoked in response to processing a second method statement following the first method statement in the computer program. The second method statement is passed a condition parameter and the return variable. During the execution of the program logic for the second method statement, a determination is made as to whether the return variable set by the first method statement satisfies a condition specified in the condition parameter and one of at least two operations are performed, depending on whether the return variable satisfies the condition.
