Hi,
i got an error message "IGYPS2059-E The "NEXT SENTENCE" phrase was invalid in this context. The phrase was discarded."
My code goes like:
IF IT-SUBLINE-1-3 = '999'
---
NEXT SENTENCE
ELSE
---
---
END-IF
So, i just got a doubt can we use NEXT SENTENCE with some other statements in the IF or ELSE part? or whether it should be the only statement in the block? Please help me.. |

Hi,
Respecify and/or remove the indicated NEXT SENTENCE phrase in the indicated statement so that, if used at all, it is used only in the context of IF . |

Hi Anuj,
"if used at all, it is used only in the context of IF ."
im not getting this point. here i used in the context of IF only right?
so, do u mean that NEXT SENTENCE should be the only statement in the IF or ELSE block? |

IF IT-SUBLINE-1-3 = '999'

NEXT SENTENCE
ELSE

END-IF

if you have code between the if and the next sentence, that is your problem. remove the next sentence.
next sentence and continue should be the only code within an execution block. |

Just a guess, are you executing a calculation statement between IF and ELSE . Something like:
A = b*c
In such case, the Verb COMPUTE is missing.
Check if any cobol VERB is missing before NEXT SENTENCE and after IF.
Thanks,
