Description:
I am Writing/Editing a LinqToProgress query engine. So far simple functions within progress is simple to replicate, such as "A" >= "B" or Lookup(A, B) > 1, simple one liners that give boolean conditions. However to implement more advance function or custom functions I will need to be able to write multiline statements that can be plugged into conditions, meaning the inline function should be able to give a boolean result when you use DISP ( myFunc ) in the ABL ScratchPad (Using Eclipse) or similar programs.
Issue:
I need to convert the code between the //Start Here and //End Here to an inline boolean result.
DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR LIST AS CHAR NO-UNDO INIT "one,two,three,four".
DEF VAR LIST2 AS CHAR NO-UNDO INIT "one,three,five".
DISP(
// Start Here
DO i=1 TO NUM-ENTRIES(LIST):
IF LOOKUP(ENTRY(i, LIST),LIST2) > 0 THEN RETURN TRUE.
END.
RETURN FALSE.
// End Here
)
Currently the code throws an error. White space after colon ends statement. I tried looking for solutions on multiline statements/inline functions but so far found nothing.
Constraints:

Constraints:
- Everything written needs to be contained within the Disp function.
- I can't use previously created functions.
