Agreed. However, there are "bizarre" cases like this one: OPEN FILEIN. IF STATUS-RC > '00' THEN DISPLAY 'OPEN ERROR', STOP RUN. In that case, converting STOP RUN to GOBACK would not be a good choice, to say the least. A good solution would be to convert STOP RUN to CALL 'ABEND' or something like that. This is one of the types of situation I saw in a few projects and call "bizarre". -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
