RE: Perform Varying Statement

[Chris.Chambers@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I have also tried this and it would seem that the editor does not like a
'perform varying' as the operation to be performed.

Try putting the add statement in a seperate section or paragraph thus :

Perform Varying INDEX01 from 1 by 1 until INDEX 01 is > 50
     Perform ADD
End-Perform

ADD SECTION.
ADD-START
     Perform Varying   INDEX02    from 1 by 1 until    INDEX02 is > 75
          Add X, Y giving Z
     End-Perform.

ADD-EXIT.
Exit.

My project was to make a two dimensional table so I tried using:
     Perform Varying _____ from 1 by 1 until ______ is > 50
     Perform Varying _____ from 1 by 1 until ______ is > 75
     end-perform
But I wouldn't take the whole screen looked like a Christmas tree!
I have not seen any examples of this structure here at my work. Should I
have put and add statement below the last perform connecting them together?
Example"

     Add (_______), (__________)

I saw something of this sort in a COBOL/400 book. Would something of this
sort take?
Thanks for answering my question.

The perform varying statement should work - please post the exact code -
does it
fail at compile time or does the editor
highlight some 'grammatical' error.
