Hi Friends..I am new to PL/I. Do we have equivalent stmt like 'CONTINUE' in COBOL?

Thank You.

we don't have continue in PL/1 but we can have a null statement (just semi-colon) which works the same.. eg

IF condition THEN
;
ELSE
do something;

Hi,

It is LEAVE;

Ex:-

DO I = 1 TO 10;
PUT SKIP LIST(I);
IF I = 3 THEN LEAVE;
END;

THE SYNTAX IS:

LEAVE;
LEAVE labelname;

Another example is

IF A = B THEN
S

O I = 1 TO 10;
IF I = 4 LEAVE S;
END;
ELSE
T: DO;
SOME STATEMENTS;
END;
R: STATEMENT;

IN THIS CASE IF THE LEAVE IS EXECUTED THE CONTROLL COMES TO R NOT TO T

THANKS,
KARNATI.
