Really? You violate interface requirements and then worry about problems that ensue? You are supposed to issue SYSSTATE AMODE64=YES to indicate that you are AMODE 64 if invoking z/OS macros. Period. Is this new news to anyone? It has been this way ever since AMODE64 was supported in any

GOTOs (was CLIST)

There is such a thing as overdoing GOTOs, but I agree that a blanket never-do-it rule is counter-productive. I don't often use SIGNAL in REXX, because I find that its structured features are adequate. But in other languages I have argued for limited GOTO use. In COBOL, for example, it seems

It's much cleaner in PL/I than in REXX; ITERATE and LEAVE use labels rather than control variables. FOO: DO I=1 TO N ... ITERATE FOO ... END BAR: DO I=1 TO N ... ITERATE BAR ... END Note that the two loops have the same control variable but the labels are different.

I would say that there is no such thing as overdoing GOTOs, only misusing them, and even if you only have one GOTO misuse is bad, while there is nothing wrong with a lot of correctly used GOTO statements. See the classic "Structured Programming with go to Statements" by DONALD E. KNUTH at https
