Re: FOR loop limit

I know that I'm checking for the to value to see if the loop occurred at
all.

So...

if iy= 0
for ix = 1 to iy
... inside loop.
endfor.

I'm checking ix for 1 to determine if the inside of the loop occurred. If
1, it didn't... Obviously I could check iy before going to the for loop.
But for some reason I've let ix tell me afterwards.

Well, as others have pointed out IBM won't change it now because people
may actually be counting on that.

Bet that makes determining when it exited the loop fun - for example
determining if they used LEAVE or not. And when they actually exited.

I learned something new today.

Take the following program:

D x S 3P 0
D y S 3P 0

/free

*INLR = *On;
Y = 999;

For X = 1 To Y By 1;
EndFor;

Return;

/end-free


The program bombs with the dreaded "Message . . . . : The target for a
numeric operation is too small to hold the result (C G D F)."

I guess when the endfor is reached the last time through, it attempts to
set
the value of x to 1,000.

Live and learn.
