I have a very curious event occuring within a Member Function.

the function presented below.....

DWORD CFormatData::GetOutputFormat(void)
{
     DWORD dwFormatInfo = DISP_EMPTY;   /* = 0x00000000*/

     TRACE3("\n---dwFormatInfo b1:%d b2:%d b3:%d\n",
          m_dwTimeStamp, m_dwDateStamp, m_dwNameStamp);

     TRACE3("\n---dwFormatInfo b1:%d b2:%d b3:%d\n",
          m_dwOneLine, m_dwWrapNext, m_dwWrapBelow);

     ASSERT(m_dwNameStamp);// | DISP_ADD_NAME;

     if(m_dwNameStamp)
     {
      dwFormatInfo | DISP_ADD_NAME;
     }

     return dwFormatInfo;
}


The trace output is
---dwFormatInfo b1:0 b2:0 b3:1  --where b3 is the m_dwNameStamp value
(clearly not zero)
---dwFormatInfo b1:0 b2:1 b3:0

The compiler is MS VC++ ver 5.0

The problem is that the if statement gets skipped regardless of the value of
any member vars that I check on.
If I set a break point  the ASSERT will evaluate to TRUE but the If
statement acts as if it is not even there.

Does anyone have any idea why I might be experiencing this odd behavior???

Please let me know

    Thanks
