Why does this happen?

TABLE FILE DMDOR
PRINT
...
WHERE DORTYPE EQ 'DEPT';
WHERE DORCP EQ '&MONTH';
WHERE DORCY EQ '&YEAR';
WHERE CO EQ '&CO';
WHERE DEPTNUM EQ '&DEPT';
WHERE (ACCTTYPE NE 'Deductions' AND ACCTSECT NE 'Profit &| Loss');
END


yields
SELECT ...
FROM DMDOR T1
WHERE (T1."ACCTSECT" <> 'Profit & Loss') 
AND (T1."ACCTTYPE" <> 'Deductions') 
AND (T1."DEPTNUM" ='816000') 
AND (T1."CO" = '01') 
AND (T1."DORCY" = '2012') 
AND (T1."DORCP" = '09') 
AND (T1."DORType" = 'DEPT');


Instead of this?
SELECT ...
FROM DMDOR T1
WHERE ( (T1."ACCTSECT" <> 'Profit & Loss') AND (T1."ACCTTYPE" <> 'Deductions') )
AND (T1."DEPTNUM" ='816000') 
AND (T1."CO" = '01') 
AND (T1."DORCY" = '2012') 
AND (T1."DORCP" = '09') 
AND (T1."DORType" = 'DEPT');

If I am not wrong.. isn't that what the translator is supposed to do. In effect that is what the compound WHERE clause is doing. Unless there is an OR in the compound WHERE, it should not matter. Both of them will have same result set.

thanks
