Hi,

does order matter?  Yes, we need to check 30 before 10.
give subroutine $100 a decent name! This is the subroutine that checks if
a bill of material for the given facility exists. Originally, it was one
large(5 printed pages) SR with IF's that started at the beginning and ended
at the bottom. Some places had up to 6 ENDIF's, followed by an ELSE, then
more ENDIF's.  Everything else has a meaningful name, I just missed this
one.

I think I will add the DO and add some comments. Thanks for all the help!

I was thinking about that myself.

IMHO, the answer is no.

You could certainly do it, but you'd have to short-circuit the for loop
with LEAVE since the for loop really isn't the controlling factor.
Plus you'd have to code to set W@GOOD to 'NO' if you make it all the way
through the loop.  The result is ugly, and not clear as to why your are
doing what you are doing.

For x = 30 downto 10 by 10;
  K@FAC = %char(x);
  W@GOOD = *BLANKS;
  EXSR $100
  if W@GOOD <> *BLANKS;
    leave;
  endif;
  W@GOOD = 'NO';
Endfor;


Well, I guess that's not as bad as I first envisioned. ;-)  But it seems
the original code checked '30','10','20'...does order matter?

Still, it seems to me that this is a little clearer as to what you are
doing:

K@FAC = '30';
exsr $100;
if W@GOOD = *BLANKS;
  K@FAC = '10';
  exsr $100;
  if W@GOOD = *BLANKS;
    K@FAC = '20';
    exsr $100;
    if W@GOOD = *BLANKS;
      W@GOOD = 'NO ';
    endif;
  Endif;
Endif;


Oh and Teri, if you're making changes for readability, please, please,
does order matter?!

Rick, would this be a place where using a for/endfor loop would help
clear up future confusion?

Terri,

by removing the DOU, the change in K@FAC isn't re-checked.

put the do back in, and it will return to the top of your
select and recheck.

Hi,
     I am rewriting an old program. It has the following
chunk of code:

C                 MOVE        '30'          K@FAC
C     W@GOOD      DOUNE *BLANK
C                 SELECT
C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '30'
C                 EXSR        $100
C     W@GOOD      IFEQ        *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '10'          K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '10'
C                 EXSR        $100

C                 MOVE        '20'          K@FAC

C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '20'
C                 EXSR        $100
C     W@GOOD      IFEQ         *BLANK
C                 MOVE        'NO '         W@GOOD
C                 ENDIF
C                 ENDSL
C                 ENDDO

Basically, it is trying to find the correct bill of
material facility. It
could be in 30, 10 or 20.  I changed it a bit for readability.

C                 MOVE        *BLANK      W@GOOD
C                 MOVE        '30'        K@FAC
C                 SELECT
C*
C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '30'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '10'        K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '10'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '20'        K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '20'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        'NO '       W@GOOD
C                 ENDIF
C*
C                 ENDSL
C*

When I put it in debug, it does the first WHEN, changes
K@FAC to '10', goes
to the next WHENEQ, then goes to the ENDSL.  Can anyone
tell me why it no
longer works?
