RE: RPG Free - The end of the expression is expected

The ellipse is used to continue a long variable or procedure name to a second
line in the Calc specs. It is, as you know, also used to define long variable
names. 
As others have pointed out, RPG IV has no continuation character for
statements/expressions _except_ the + and - used to concatenate Literals that
spill over onto a second line.

BOY! That's frustrating... I know I tried it that way. Must have been
something else wrong with my line at the time.

Ok, let's adjust the question just a bit... I have seen code in messages
that is followed by the ellipse. What is actually happening with that?

Thanks,

Dave

You don't use any type of continuation marker...
It's simply
0344.00          IF %Scan (Dsdest : 'BCM') > 0 and Metro = 'N'
0345.00                or dsdest = 'Z';         
 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Not a question I really WANT to ask...but, I want a two line IF
statement. I'm ok if I can get it all on one line, but when I split it
there's no go.

I have tried ending with a '+', and with blank, and with '...'. Nuttin'
works.

Here's the line I'm trying to work with:

0344.00          IF %Scan (Dsdest : 'BCM') > 0 and Metro = 'N'...
0345.00                or dsdest = 'Z';                          

This, showing my last attempt, with the ellipse...

Please be gentle... :-(

Dave
