Hi all,
I am using GOTO in my program..
The program has only one error & that is with the GOTO.
The code looks like this.
| Code: |
IF FLAG_READ_NEXT = 2
THEN DO;
GOTO NEXT_SAL;
END; /* END OF 'IF' OF FLAG = 2 */ |
Error message of the GOTO:
IDENTIFIER 'NEXT_IMS' AFTER 'GOTO' IS NOT A LABEL KNOWN IN THE CURRENT BLOCK. STATEMENT IGNORED
The GOTO is written in one PROC and LABEL of GOTO is in another PROC of the same program.
NEXT_SAL:
READ FILE (SAMPLE) INTO (SAMPLE_REC);
The proc ends after the read statement.
The label is not present in any "IF CONDITIONS, DO LOOPS, SELECT ".
I am unable to fix this error.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated. |

| The error message says NEXT_IMS, so you are showing/looking-at the wrong code anyway. |

Got it..
The GOTO was in a two level procedure..
It was the problem.. |

| Your problem is using GOTO - it should only ever be used in the ON ERROR block. Every other use is bad design. |

I agree with Nic. PL/I is a marvelous HLL (eclipses COBOL) and should only require the use of GOTO's (as he has said) in ON ERROR blocks.
When I was coding PL/I (some 30 years ago), we were forbidden to use GOTO's and rightly so, except for exiting E15 and E35 PL/I Sort Exits. These are akin to a COBOL SORT INPUT PROCEDURE (E15) and OUTPUT PROCEDURE (E35).
HTH.... |
