I've found another bug in the CL prompter in WDSC 5.1.0.3 - it is probably
in 5.1.2, as well. I'm not attached to an IBM customer at this time, so I'm
reporting it here. (I'm using a timeshare iSeries.)
If I enter
if &error (goto endpgm)
and prompt it, I get an error "Command (GOTO in library *LIBL not found."
The prompter adds extra parentheses in the command string:
IF COND(&ERROR) THEN((GOTO ENDPGM))
which is bogus.
SEU handles this syntax just fine - in fact, putting parentheses on is a
time-honored way to isolate a (positional) parameter.
BTW, both of the following are handled correctly:
if &error then(goto endpgm)
if &error goto endpgm
The latter one surprised me, but it also works in SEU. Even in that
context, this is not normal command parameter processing as I understand
it, where each unquoted token separated by spaces is a new parameter.
Unless it has always been the case that the last parameter does not need to
be quoted if it has more than one word?
