I convert the ancient punch-card-restriction-code to **FREE to prevent any new Goto/CABXX/Tag etc.
I use a regular expression " ^.{5}[a-z,A-Z]" to scan for Punch-Card-Tyranny!
PS. Yes, even on vendor code, I convert to Free, before I debug it! Even old RPG-II code!! RDI cannot debug RPG-II code...
Luckily, only a minuscule of that ancient stuff left over from the discontinued systems 3/32/3436/38/400!
Sorry, OS400 5.4 is no longer actively supported by IBM!

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] WDSCI-L] Anybody still have to deal with TAGs & GOTOs? New
I cast my vote. I see a lot of inherited code in RPGIV format with GoTo/Tag, conditioning indicators, etc. Some of it is really messy. Even found conditioning indicators on If statements. Would help if the outline view picked up the conditioning indicators.
So anybody else still have code that uses TAG and GOTO?
Wouldn't it be nice if the TAGs showed in the outline view?
If so, vote for my RFE
