Re: No Subroutines (was Re: Debugging many subprocedures)

GOTO... eeekk.
I think they should abolish that from the compiler for ILE lol.
Support for old programs, but ban it from new ones.
Just my opinion of course, but I absolutely HATE goto and cabs....

Re: No Subroutines (was Re: Debugging many subprocedures)






Well, LEAVESR really does a branch to ENDSR so he's correct about putting
the breakpoint on ENDSR.  You're right about being able to use GOTO out of
the subroutine.  One of the benefits for using a procedure is you can only
normally exit the procedure using RETURN.

I don't understand Joe's problem with multiple RETURNs in a procedure. 
IMHO
that's a good way to code a procedure.  You don't end up with all sorts of
conditioned code to get to the one RETURN at the end of the procedure.
