As, except for tracing, there seems to be little value in labels that cannot be branched to, should we completely disallow them already in the translation phase, like it is done for labels within INTERPRET? One of the open bug reports claims we should allow `label: THEN` within an IF (it's the ANSI argument) and I wonder whether we really want a fix with so lottle vealue. I think I'd be in favor of not allowing them at those locations. I agree there is very little value in having them there, and the control structure of how instructions are linked together probably would not accommodate that well.
This topic of an IF block being contained within a "Do we intentionally allow SIGNAL/CALL into IF/DO/LOOP?" context... Is this similar to the run-time environment of a dynamically created method? Back on Object Rexx 2.x and 16 years ago, a coworker built a Persistence class architecture to encapsulate a class wrapping the old official DB2 Rexx driver which shipped with IBM DB2. Some prior developer had contributed a quite nice Object Rexx class to encapsulate the DB2 Rexx DLL calls. Said coworker I worked with went a step further and wrapped that class into a Persistence class. That class would dynamically create class methods / attributes on the fly to match with the table schema of a given table. I recall he ran into a funky operating environment existed while code was running in the dynamically created method. However said dynamically created method could itself call static code, and then proper variable exposure would resume. So he ended up defining statically methods meant only to be called by the dynamically created methods... a call would go there first matching the dynamically created methods to match up with a given table schema, and then that would call back to static code.... one of those methods intended only to be called by dynamically created methods. The whole thing worked fabulously. So my question... is what Erich was inquiring about at all similar to the funky / primitive environment those dynamically created methods run Rexx code in?
