I think a closer relationship to the goto would be outputting a JavaScript
redirect smack dab in the middle of some code to redirect the user/program.
An hyper link would be more like a function key in my mind.  I don't know if
using JavaScript redirects is a bad idea, all I know is that they work
slicker than snot if used right.

If inputField = "YES";
 print("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>window.location='$loc'</SCRIPT>");
Else;
 //Continue processing. . .
EndIf;


Just a thought,

Subject: Re: Free Format and Screen Processing


   Most of the RPG free format programs I'm writing put the display in a Web
   page instead of a wrkstn. Since the Web is "stateless" I code one screen
   per program, and all the logic to move forward, backwards, to begining,
   discard, etc. is beautifully handled in Web links.

   I can not tell the difference between a Go To and a Web link, to me there
   are exactly the same.  But, I'm sure none of the people that are against
   the Go To in a program will complain about the use of links in a Web
page.

   Can somebody explain to me the difference between goto - tag in RPG and
   the href - tag in Web?

 Thank you all for your ideas, I've now got a good idea as to how I will
 implement this.
