Skip All

[Ohmes, Matt]

Well Mikael, it seems like that is what you are asking it to do.  If you are
processing inside the first IF construct, the last statement sets
TempVariable_two to zero.  It looks to me, if you EVER execute through the
first IF construct, you will NEVER execute the second IF.  Am I missing
something?

By the way. The "//" in the Entry procedure simply simulates a null operator
response through the rest of the fields in the processing logic.  But it
won't override that logic. At least that's the way I understand it. :-)

Hope that helps,
Matt

Hi folks

I have a problem with "//" - Skip all in an entry procedure:

temp TempVariable_one int*1 reset at startup
temp TempVariable_two int*1 reset at startup

procedure entry
begin
   do internal Set_temp_variable ; Set either TempVariable_one or _two to 1
   if TempVariable_one = 1
      then begin
         accept field1
         accept field2
         ......
         let TempVariable_one = 0
         let TempVariable_two = 0
      end
   if TempVariable_two = 1
      then begin
         accept field3
         accept field4
         ......
         let TempVariable_one = 0
         let TempVariable_two = 0
      end
end

If I use the "//" skip all in ex. field2 in the first "if" statement
the program skip the rest of the "if" statement, sets the variables
to zero and jump into "if" statement two - even though the TempVariable_two
is
1.

What am I doing wrong?

Greetings


Mikael
