Hello!

When I run the following code I get an error of (FOC002) A WORD IS NOT RECOGNIZED: GOTO



-IF &REP_GRP_ATTRIBUTE EQ 'FOC_NONE' THEN GOTO MYFASTER ELSE GOTO MYSLOWER;

-MYFASTER
TABLE FILE MATRIX_DIV_MTD
GOTO ADD_DETAILS;

-MYSLOWER
TABLE FILE MATRIX_DIV_MONTHLY
GOTO ADD_DETAILS;

I've looked up the syntax for GOTO and it lists the ; as optional...and I've tried it both ways with no luck.

Thanks!

Jason,

Grab the manual and read up on dialogue manager. GOTO is a DM command and not a WF command so it should be contained on a line prefixed with a hypen -

-GOTO .......; or
-IF .... THEN GOTO ....;


T

If you treat GOTO as a standalone statement in dialog manager, you have to have a prefix -. If it is used within if .... then goto ... else goto, you don't need the prefix.

Hi Jason,

Can you please correct both line?

from:
GOTO ADD_DETAILS;
to:
-GOTO ADD_DETAILS;

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry

it all works now!

Thank you for your patience!

Jason,
A small comment. You should code:
-GOTO ADD-DETAILS
without the semicolon. That is what the book says. Although you will find that it works with the semicolon, some day, a future release might be more orthodox and you will have problems.
