Hi Will,
As I said, I don't use it myself, but a reason one might use
it is that one can easily cut and paste (or include) logic.
For example:
---
LOCKED
put
some
generic
logic
here
END
---
regards, Keith

However, here is a form that's rarely used, but does work.

GOSUB DO.SOMETHING

;* the reasoning behind the reason
GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE

IMO much more readable - because you see immediately that is is a
conditional branching.
It is also easier maintainable if you want to add
@Mecki.. What is your editor of choice, ie can you get it to indent 1
space? I've always been a standard FORMAT in ED fella, but the site I've
just joined doesn't want that, code must start right up against the edge,
have 2 space indenting.. So hard to not instinctively FORMAT, equally

Both read exactly
Rather than:
BEGIN CASE
CASE A = TEST; GOSUB DO.SOMETHING
CASE 1; GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE
END CASE
or
IF A = TEST THEN GOSUB DO.SOMETHING ELSE GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE
I prefer:
IF A = TEST THEN GOSUB DO.SOMETHING ;* Say why
ELSE GOSUB DO.SOMETHING.ELSE
The case statement has a huge advantage in what really matters... human
readability... that is the point.
From readability follows... reliability, maintainability, and testability...
better, cleaner, safer software.
An irony is that while the if statement... is the cornerstone of all
Explain more what you mean by saying the if is problematic and obsolete ?
