I'm confused. I had a teacher, years ago, who was adamant - one way
in and one way out. How is LEAVE considered structured? Violates the
teacher's rule, since there are now multiple ways that a loop could be
exited. His preferred method was to test at the top.

I don't mean to start an argument. Just trying to understand how
multiple exit paths is considered structured.

I have had to debug programs with multiple exit paths. Process was
more involved.

Could he do a NOT/Else with the NOt MonMsg... else leave?

Still, I like the concept. It'd be a way to get out of a block of code without a GOTO. The Do .. EndDo marks the block of code. Are there other ways to jump out of a block in CL structured op codes?

I wrote this snippet of code:

Do
ChkObj QSTRUPEX1 *Pgm /* Check for exit program. */
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.
