<h1 class="topictitle1">Command label</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Command labels identify particular commands for branching purposes
|
|
in a CL program. Labels can also be used to identify statements in CL programs
|
|
that are being debugged. They can identify statements used either as breakpoints
|
|
or as starting and ending statements for tracing purposes.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p> The label is typed just before the command name. The standard
|
|
rules for specifying simple names (*SNAME) apply. The label is immediately
|
|
followed by a colon. Blanks are allowed, though not required, between the
|
|
colon and the command name. The label can contain as many as 10 characters,
|
|
in addition to the colon. START: and TESTLOOP: are examples of command labels.</p>
|
|
<p>Command
|
|
labels are not required, but a label can be placed on any command. For labels
|
|
that are placed on commands that cannot be run (for example, the <span class="cmdname">Declare
|
|
CL Variable (DCL)</span> command), when the program branches to that label,
|
|
the next command following the label is run. If the command following the
|
|
label cannot be run, the program will move to the next command that can be
|
|
run. Similarly, you can specify only one label on a line. If a command is
|
|
not located on that line, the program will jump to the next command that can
|
|
be run.</p>
|
|
<p>To specify multiple labels, each additional label must be on
|
|
a separate line preceding the command as shown:</p>
|
|
<pre>LABEL1:
|
|
LABEL2: CMDX</pre>
|
|
<p>No continuation character (+ or -) is allowed on the preceding
|
|
label lines.</p>
