Re: [amibroker] Something is different. But what ?

The iif() does not give the same result because ref(inlongpos, -1) == 0 except when the previous bar is a buy.  You can see exactly what is happening graphically with
 
buy =
sell =
inlongpos = iif(...
plot(c, "", iif(buy, colorred, iif(sell, coloryellow, colorpalegreen)), stylebar);
title = "inlongpos = " + inlongpos + "  ref(inlongpos..." + ref(inlongpos...) + "  buy = " + buy + "  sell =" + sell
 
If you want the iif() approach to hold either a buy or sell value for each bar additional code is needed to create this condition.

Sure. This of course if part of an AFL with Buy and Sell defined. Also an init for InLongPos
being set to zero as a starter. Again the ForLoop works fine. I checked that with following statement : AddColumn(InLongPos,"Long",1);
My problem is that I do not understand why the first statement does not give me the correct answer where the second does ...

Is there more to the code?  Are you getting a syntax/initialization error?  How are you handling the case when i == 1?
