Re: Leave outside of DO group???

I wrote this snippet of code:

MonMsg CPF9800 EXEC(Leave) /* Not there or Not Authorized */
Call QSTRUPEX1 /* Run it. */
MonMsg CPF0000
EndDo


At the LEAVE Statement I get this error:
* CPD0883 30 LEAVE command found outside of DO group.

But it sure appears to be inside a Do group to me!

Am I in error if I 'complain' to the fine folks in the land of IBM
i?


AFaIK the error is correct, and ...

The implied command label [CMDLBL(*CURRENT)] is, as worded in the message CPD089A, is not "associated with an active DOWHILE, DOUNTIL, or DOFOR group". The additional\second-level text of that CPD0883 [e.g. as presented by F1=Help] should further state that "The LEAVE command must be inside a DOWHILE, DOUNTIL, or DOFOR command group."

FWiW: Coding the MONMSG CPF0000 as shown is not a good practice; just as well remove the prior CHKOBJ and MONMSG to get effectively the same results with less work.
