if not(cond) then Jump Label1 cmd1 cmd2 Jump Label2 * Label1: cmd3 cmd4 * Label2: That's all folks I think SMI's RPL has this type of requirement If you mean the IF knows when it ENDS because it hits a JUMP that's not a very nice solution.... -----Original Message----- From: Brian Leach <br...@brianleach.co.uk> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Sun, Dec 9, 2012 10:06 am Subject: Re: [U2] Another job ad written by people who have no clue since I often find myself working in mvBasic, Delphi, C#, javascript and sometimes VB.NET at the same time it is the multiline end and else syntax that is the one that trips me. Basic If cond Then blah End Else blah End Delphi If cond Then Begin blah; End Else Begin blah; End; VB.NET If cond Then blah Else blah End If .. So sometimes the C# and javascript braces are welcome! But I would add that good code is beautiful irrespective of the syntactic vagaries of the chosen language - except for TSQL of course which is always horrible. <grin> Brian Sent from my iPad On 9 Dec 2012, at 17:38, Wjhonson <wjhon...@aol.com> wrote: > For a single line. > I don't understand how an IF would know, for multiple lines, where > it's supposed to end. > With a semi colon?
