What is wrong with thnis Syntax? I am getting a syntax error on the IF...THRN....ELSE statement.

SQL SQLMSS
INSERT INTO XXX
(YYY
,ZZZZ)
END
-RUN

-IF &RETCODE NE 0
THEN
-EXIT
ELSE
END



All I want to do is exit the report if the write wasn't successful. If it was, then go on processing the report.

dbeagan,

CONTINUE is a researved word and does not play nicely with goto.

At least under 7.6.11, "-GOTO CONTINUE" will work but using with a "-IF" will not.

Thanks Rob. Hopefully MichaelBalle only used it as an example and had his own label names.
