Re: Indicating Total Time in Free Form when using RPG Cycle

I'm not all that familiar with cycle pgm. But just a little... but isn't it
just an indicator that you can check on an if statement? \


/free
main code blah blah blah
if *inL0;
ExSr Break1;
EndIf;


??? Excuse my ignorance....



setll (field1) file;
Reade(field1) file;
dow not %Eof();
dow not %eof();
// do something here.
reade(field1:field2) file;
enddo;
Exsr break1#;
setgt (field1:field2) file;
reade (field1) file;
enddo;

S/3.... Wow, I did not think anyone remembered that system. :) Now, do you
remember what MFCU *really* meant?

Probably that same

Matching Records????
Now you are REALLY going Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
back!!!!
:)
But when did you last use Look Ahead fields????????? :-) or how about
field level testing for + - 0 ???

Ahhhaaa, those were the days.

Is'nt RPG great?
You have the best of both worlds...the Cycle when it is appropriate,
and full procedural (walk through the file yourself) when that is the
best
fit.

Why not
just:

CL9 CALLP (whatever)

At least this way one only has the one disjointed calc-spec.

A couple of years ago I reached into the Wayback Machine and
actually coded a program using level breaks *and* matching records.
Could have
(probably) done it without using the Cycle, but it was soooo much
easier.

Subject: Indicating Total Time in Free Form when using RPG Cycle

All,
I have an RPGLE program that prints a report and uses the Cycle for
Level Breaks.
Other than breaking out of free form to indicate Total Time processing
using CL0 If *InLx, then back to Free Form until the
end
of total processing with /End-Free, CL0 EndIf, Is there
any
way to do this only in Free Form?

I know, the RPG Cycle is *old style*, but sometimes, it is the best
tool for the job and I do not want to roll my own level breaks here
just to be "modern".

Thanks,
