This RFE has been delivered in the October 2017 ABO 1.3 PTF.
Program segmentation using priority-numbers interacts in various ways with certain other language features, such as ALTER and GO TO DEPENDING ON.
Most of these combinations result in compiled programs that are relatively straightforward to support in ABO while one particular case is much more complex to support.
This one particular complex case is when the source contains *all* of the below characteristics:
- Priority numbers are present with values 50->99 (i.e. independent segments)
- One or more ALTER statements are present in an independent segment where the GO TO being altered is also in an independent segment with an equal priority number
- One or more GO TO DEPENDING ON statements are present somewhere in the program
If the above detailed case is an important to be supported please reply with a comment so we can follow up for more information
Below is a source code snippet showing an example of this case:
LabStart Section 60.
if var = 3
alter LabA to proceed to LabX
else if var = 2
alter LabA to proceed to LabY
else
go to LabX depending on var2
end-if
.
LabA Section 60.
go to.
This RFE is being accepted and has been put into a plan.
