Nope, this is just home grown code.

GOTO converted to LEAVSR only works if the GOTO is in a SR and the going to
the end of the SR.

Not the case here. RETURN would normally be an option, but as noted not
perfect due to the parm12 = *IN12 requirement.

Hi Charles

Are these bespoke programs - I’m working on some open source that will
refactor ASSET generated source - happy to supply a copy if it is ASSET
generated - the source is a rework of JCRCMDS

In it the goto’s are converted to LEAVESR

Regards

Kevin

Looking at an old program that using GOTO...I'd like to get rid of it.

In this case, it's a relatively simple usage

//mainline part1
if something goto @end
//mainline part2
if somethingelse goto @end
//mainline part 3
...
TAG @END
eval parm12 = *IN12;
return;

I see two options
1) dou loop
2) add an end_program subroutine

---Option 1---

dou *on = *on; //run once
//mainline part1
if something leave
//mainline part2
if somethingelse leave
//mainline part 3
enddo;
eval parm12 = *IN12;
return;

---Option 2---

//mainline part1
if something exsr @END_PROGRAM
//mainline part2
if somethingelse exsr @END_PROGRAM
//mainline part 3
...
exsr @END_PROGRAM
//shouldn't get here, but to be safe
return;

begsr @END_PROGRAM;
eval parm12 = *IN12;
return;
endsr;


Advantages to option 2 as I see them...
- works even if GOTO exists in a loop in the mainline
- works if GOTO is in an subroutine

note that the "eval parm12 = *IN12" line is due to refactoring a *ENTRY
PLIST into a PR/PI. *IN12 was specified as the factor 2 on the PARM
op-code for parm12. So I can't just change GOTO @END to RETURN.

Thoughts / comments on either of the above options?
Any additional tips or techniques?

Thanks!
Charles
