if you have a label like IBTRAD

ex.
if &LINES EQ 0 THEN GOTO IBTRAD


-IBTRAD

Question: should the last statement before the label -IBTRAD be an END or EXIT only?

My issue is trying to create a SQLSCRIPT that uses UNION when multiple items are selected

ex.
if &IBR = 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRAD; (when executed it gives the FOC305 error)
-IBDIR
select....
from...
where...

if &IBT = 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRANS;
-IBTRAD
union
select ....
from ...
where ...

I think the if statements need to be replaced by something like this:
-if &IBR EQ 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRAD;
-if &IBT EQ 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRANS;

Why not just have -
-IF &IBR NE 'Y' THEN IBTRAD;
-IF &IBT NE 'Y' THEN IBTRANS;

the issue is not the goto...it is the LABEL NOT BEING FOUND... the &ibd, &ibtd, &ibtr and &ibr can be set to 'Y' when selected in a drop down
namely IBDIR (if selected, set &ibd to 'Y')
IBTRAD ( " &ibtd " )
IBTRANS ( " &ibtr " )
IBRESS ( " &ibr " )

if &ibd = 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRAD
-IBDIR
select....

-IBTRAD
if &ibtd = 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBTRANS
union
select ....

-IBTRANS
IF &ibtr = 'Y' then ' ' else goto IBRESS
union
select ...

-IBRESS
if &ibr = 'Y' then ' ' else goto NOMORE
union
select ...
-NOMORE
(script is not exactly correct, just pointing
the idea of using union in the select)

The goal is to create a single script (using UNION) to extract all selected type of records (IBTRAD, IBDIR...etc). Any other approach that
you can suggest?

Have you tried what Tony suggested? Be sure you have the semicolon at the end. Also be sure it begins in position 1, no indentation. And in answer to your other question:

Question: should the last statement before the label -IBTRAD be an END or EXIT only?

Do you want the code following -IBTRAD to be executed? If not, then you want an -EXIT or a -GOTO before it, an END will not stop the execution.

And, as Michael said above, the dash in front of the IF. That should be -IF.

As many have said..

Here is the syntax of the -IF command

-IF expression [THEN] GOTO label1[;] [ELSE GOTO label2[;]] [ELSE IF...[;]]


The command -IF must end with a semicolon ( ; ) to signal that all logic has been specified. Continuation lines must begin with a hyphen (-) and lines must break between words.

This was taken directly from the documentation.

Awk7, from the way this was coded, I do beleive that you don't have a good understanding of the {Web}FOCUS language, I think it would be a good idea for you to get training or at lease have a good look at the manuals.

A link to search documentation is at the top of the page.
