Sorry for the late response.  I agree this should be changed BUT we need to make sure that we "catch" all the ways that "trace-only" labels might be used incorrectly.  I think that list is a) target of SIGNAL, b) target of CALL, and c) target of a function call.  I'd be interested in what VM/CMS Rexx does in those scenarios.

I agree; because labels can be used as a debugging aid as well as targets of branches, it would make sense to allow labels anywhere, but prohibit branching to them where such actions are not appropriate.
