I just upgraded from 5.3.3 to 7.6.11 Developer Studio...OS 7. The following is included in several reports. IT worked fine in 5.3.3, but throws an in 7.6.11.

I have not been able to pinpoint a syntax change.

Why does this not work in 7.6.11?


-DEFAULT &FORMT = 'HTML';

-IF &FORMT EQ 'PDF' GOTO FPDF;
-IF &FORMT EQ 'HTML' GOTO FHTML;
-IF &FORMT EQ 'EXCEL' GOTO FEXCEL;
-IF &FORMT EQ 'EXL2K' GOTO FEXL2;
-GOTO THEEXIT;

-FPDF
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
-GOTO THEEXIT;

-FEXCEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
-GOTO THEEXIT2;

-FEXL2
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
-GOTO THEEXIT2;

-FHTML
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMLTABLE AS TOPREPT
-GOTO THEEXIT;

-THEEXIT2
END
-EXIT

-THEEXIT

APP PREPENDPATH IBISAMP
TABLE FILE GGORDER
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS TOPREPT
END
-EXIT
Yields:
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=     4317  LINES=   4317
 0 HTML FILE SAVED ...

I think the format you are looking for is: HTMTABLE.

Typically, I code my -GOTO's as: -GOTO label

The manual doesn't mentioned ending -GOTO's with a ';'.

Are you branching around the 'END' command, when your code needs it?

I think HTMLTABLE was dropped quite awhile ago, in favour of HTMTABLE.

Another case of code tightening.

But from the error message it seems the "-INCLUDE" was encountered outside the scope of a TABLE command.

The complaint is not that the line does not conform to TABLE syntax, but rather that the WF agent was rummaging through FOCSTACK looking for a Focus primary command, and instead found 
ON TABLE HOLD ...

I think we need to see the code and/or the code output, as per Jacks suggestion.
