In the above code pattern, I need to put the IF condition (before moving spaces), so that it should skip rest of the lines and control shld move next to line after CONTINUE.

So how to code IF statement here.....

I tried with IF condition in the first line and End-if before CONTINUE....
But I'm getting error message as SCOPE TERMINATOR DISCARDED.


Plesae suggest me how to code these IF and END-IF so that it will skip all the lines in between.

IF CONTIION (If condition is statisfied, then it should skip all the lines mentioned above and control should move to next line after CONTINUE Verb).


Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Describe the processing rules (i.e. what should happen and in what order). Show a bit of your actual code and the problem(s) encountered.Please post wthout all of the interleaved space lines.

Use the "Code" tag (and Preview) to create/edit your post. The Code tag preserves alignment and greatly improves readability.

You show us this and then you ask the question

ah...it's just too tough to suggest something from what you posted. Please post some actual code, as Dick suggested. Possibly post the compiled post which shows

SCOPE TERMINATOR DISCARDED

Probably a point still there somewhere.
in the compile listing , left of code/line number you can see the "level of nesting" something like 1122211122233321 (a number in each line).
Check if the nesting matches with what you would expect.

It seems that there is a period '.' somewhere in between. There should not be any period between outermost IF-ENDIF.
Further I totally agree with Anuj & Dick, please put some piece of code.

Or go by what GuyC has suggested.

Hi ,

Make sure you don't have any full stop '.' in the IF and END-IF .

IF CONDITION

NEXT STATEMENT
ELSE

Next Statement takes the cursor next statement after the full stop. Hope this helps
