Example of a Tag and Goto

Re: Example of a Tag and Goto

Goto 's are great problem solvers.

I've told someone who was a problem where to Goto and how to get there and they're gone!

Re: Example of a Tag and Goto

I cant wait till vacation time again...This year I just want to <GOTO> someplace
and vegetate.

vegatate ? Isn't that a <DoWhile>. Now, if you were to "imbibe", that could be a <DoUntil>.

Hmmmm.. both sound better than the GOTO

psuedo code:

GOTO SouthSeaIsland;
DOW There;
DOU FeelingNoPain;
EXSR ImbibeFavoriteBeverage;
ENDDO; //FeelingNoPaid
%sleep(it_off);
ENDDO; //There
GOTO Home;

That's it ! GOTO needs to be in free-form !

BegSr Holiday;
DOW InSouthSeaIsland;
DOU FeelingNoPain;
EXSR ImbibeFavoriteBeverage;
ENDDO; //FeelingNoPaid
%sleep(it_off);
ENDDO; //InSouthSeaIsland
EndSr;

Mind you it seems the correct way to end a Holiday is to "Return;"

And it should be SouthPacificIsland for a good holiday, I would normally recommend Fiji if they are not currently having a coup ...

Re: Example of a Tag and Goto

I have to enter they Fray.

I will admit I have used goto in a past life, but I tried to make it sure it only went done in the code and never up.

CL was the exception of course.

I tell you what is scary. Working on a 36 program where ALL of the indicators were used.

Re: Example of a Tag and Goto

Actually i can think about example you cannot avoid TAG

c/EXEC SQL
c+ WHENEVER sqlerror GO TO SqlErrHdl
c/END-EXEC

Do one know if is any way to avoid TAG SqlErrHdl in this code?

Re: Example of a Tag and Goto

Yeah, monitor for an SQLCOD < 0 instead of using the whenever SQLERROR statement. They are essentially doing the same thing.
