Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of APL, I shall fear no
evil, for I can string six primitive monadic and dyadic operators together.

A good day is when I learn something new. Today I learned a small thing in AWK for IF statements. It makes the life of the team easier now as I can allow for multiple year checks on an input file. This coming December I can set it up to handle 2026/2027 dates without causing an error message like we received today. I knew how to do it in APL, BASIC, C, dBase, PASCAL, PL/1, COBOL, FORTRAN, REXX, RUST, SQL and BASH. Never did it in AWK.
