COBOL logic issue

Matthew Waring · December 19, 2018

I am trying to create a program but I am having difficulty with some logic. I am looking for a command that once a condition is met, it will then exit the section and carry on instead of going through the other IF statements. Example being:

Tried GO TO?

Hi!

after IF condition try to add GoBack.

but I would add a Flag indicator:

01 WS-if-correct-FLAG PIC X VALUE ‘T’.

88 WS-if-correct Pic x value ‘t’.

88 ws-if-correct-false pic x value ‘f’.

Then after the if condition set this flag to true - SET WS-IF-CORRECT TO TRUE

And with others if condition check this flag. (If you are not using else)

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply... been rather busy. I managed to fix it by using a GO TO which took me to the end of the section so that it would do not more processing.
