Subject: Re: COBOL alternative to GOTO

The COBOL-400 list is great for this. :) 

I am not terribly sure exactly what you are asking. You are welcome to send me an e-mail offline and I'll help you work through it. 

Most modern (i.e. 1980s forward) COBOL programs tend to avoid GOTO or GO TO and use a PERFORM UNTIL syntax. But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the GOTO logic, and it should compile cleanly.

Very weak in COBOL.

Working on an old COBOL program, trying to get a clean compile and maybe make the code more readable.

What alternative do I have to GOTO ?

Don't see anything like "RPG LEAVE/LEAVESR" in my ILE COBOL manual ?
