Re: Strange CL problem with SUBR

Why is it unfortunate if they fix it? It is clearly a bug, and is not working as documented.

Still, as Adam pointed out, there's already a PTF for it...

This is unfortunate. It's very easy to forget putting that GOTO or RETURN before the subroutine. In many cases the developer may not even note the problem right away. This is going to become a classic trap for inexperienced developers.

This is unfortunate because if IBM fixes this bug, it may break existing programs that depended on this quirk. And we know that IBM tries not to break existing code.

So, unlucky if they fix it, and unlucky if they don't.
