I'm having trouble getting the following goto statements to work.

-IF '&SEC_LINE' EQ 'SEC010_LN020' THEN GOTO SEC010_LN020
- ELSE IF '&SEC_LINE' EQ 'SEC010_LN040' THEN GOTO SEC010_LN040;
-SEC010_LN020
WHERE ACC_TYPE EQ '1' OR '2';
WHERE TC NE '6018';
WHERE PST_FLG EQ 'Y';
-GOTO ENDWHERE
-SEC010_LN040
WHERE ACC_TYPE EQ '3' OR '4';
WHERE TC NE '6118';
WHERE PST_FLG EQ 'Y';
-GOTO ENDWHERE
-ENDWHERE

The fex seems to execute the first label no matter what. Could you please help me on this? Thanks

Try taking the ticks of the & Variables:

-IF '&SEC_LINE' EQ 'SEC010_LN020' THEN....
should be
-IF &SEC_LINE EQ 'SEC010_LN020' THEN....

or,
just
-GOTO &SEC_LINE ;

We don't know your platform/version (edit your profile signature), so just make sure your statement labels are 12 chars max in length.

And if removing the ticks doesn't work, split the DM into 2 distinct statements by removing the ELSE and terminating the first line with ;

You folks are geniuses. Removing the tick marks solved the problem...
