Re: How do I code a GOTO in free format

I agree with Eric.
Use a DO ... LEAVE...ENDDO at the highest level you need to GOTO from

I'd probably use a dou (1=1) / enddo block, with enddo replacing the tag
line and a leave replacing the goto.

Hi

Can anyone help please I am converting an old RPG
program
into RPG IV free format

The program uses a GOTO and TAG to exit from the middle
of a
three level nesting of IF's

And needs to bypass much more code after the highest
ENDIF,
this is all dependent on a

Flag returned from an external program.



I cannot call the external program earlier or later in
the
cycle as it would negate other checks
