RE: Something Wrong with the following Code ?

The reason that it was supported was that it was before the inclusion on the
leave statement.

That is the way I understood it for years! Something must have changed

I thought GOTO from a subroutine to detail calcs had always been
supported for all RPG versions, but I just tried the older compilers and
I found out that it's not supported for RPG II (RPG36). It is supported
for RPG IV and RPG III (both RPG38 and RPG). I have no idea why anyone
thought it was a good idea to support branching like that.

But even RPG36 supports branching into a structured group like an IF or
a DO. Somehow that seems even worse than branching from a subroutine
into detail calc.
