I partially agree, Clark, but what really made it easy to get rid of GOTOs in COBOL (if you wanted to) was EXIT PERFORM and especially EXIT PERFORM CYCLE! These were added to the Standard with COBOL 2014 and implemented by IBM in Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V5.2 Cheers, TomR >> COBOL is the Language of the Future! << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
