Execution control
You can control the execution of a program sequence using constructs. Constructs contain statement blocks and other executable statements that can alter the normal execution sequence. This section contains detailed descriptions of the following constructs:
Detailed syntax diagrams for the constructs in this section can be found by following the links to the associated statements.
For nesting to occur, a construct must be wholly contained within another construct. If a statement specifies a construct name, it applies to that construct. If the statement does not specify a construct name, the statement applies to the innermost construct in which it appears.
In addition to constructs, XL Fortran provides branching as a method for transferring control from one statement to another statement in the same scoping unit.
