<h1 class="topictitle1">DO command and DO groups</h1>
<div><p>The DO command allows you to process a group of commands together. </p>
<div class="section"><p>The group is defined as all those commands between the DO command
and the corresponding <span class="cmdname">End Do Group (ENDDO)</span> command.</p>
<p>Processing
of the group is usually conditioned on the evaluation of an associated
command. Do groups are most frequently associated with the IF, ELSE, or MONMSG
commands. For instance:</p>
<div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv2w272.gif" alt="Processing of the group is usually conditioned on the evaluation of an associated command. Do groups are most frequently associated with the IF, ELSE, or MONMSG commands." /><br /></div>
<p>If the logical expression <samp class="codeph">(&amp;A=&amp;B)</samp> is true,
then the Do group is processed. If the expression is not true, then processing
starts after the ENDDO command; the Do group is skipped.</p>
<p>In the following
procedure, if &amp;A is not equal to &amp;B, the system calls PROCB. PROCA
is not called, nor are any other commands in the Do group processed.</p>
<div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv3w198.gif" alt="In the following procedure, if &amp;A is not equal to &amp;B, the system calls PROCB. PROCA is not called, nor are any other commands in the Do group processed." /><br /></div>
<p>Do groups can be nested within other Do groups, up to a maximum of
25 levels of nesting.</p>
<p>There are three levels of nesting in the following
example. Note how each Do group is completed by an <span class="cmdname">End Do Group
(ENDDO)</span> command.</p>
<div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv3w199.gif" alt="There are three levels of nesting in this following example. Note how each Do group is completed by an ENDDO command." /><br /></div>
<p>In this example, if &amp;A in the first nest does not equal 5, PGMC
is called. If &amp;A does equal 5, the statements in the second Do group
are processed. If &amp;AREA in the second Do group does not equal YES, procedure
ACCTSPAY is called, because processing moves to the next command after the
Do group.</p>
<p>The CL compiler does not indicate the beginning or ending
of Do groups. If the CL compiler notes any unbalanced conditions, it is not
easy to detect the actual errors.</p>
