ENDyy (End a Structured Group)

The ENDyy operation ends a CASxx, DO, DOU, DOW, DOUxx, DOWxx, FOR, IF, IFxx, MONITOR, or SELECT group of operations.

The ENDyy operations are listed below:

END

End a CASxx, DO, DOU, DOUxx, DOW, DOWxx, FOR, IF, IFxx, or SELECT group

ENDCS

End a CASxx group

ENDDO

End a DO, DOU, DOUxx, DOW, or DOWxx group

ENDFOR

End a FOR group

ENDIF

End an IF or IFxx group

ENDMON

End a MONITOR group

ENDSL

End a SELECT group

The increment-value operand is allowed only on an ENDyy operation that delimits a DO group. It contains the incrementing value of the DO group. It can be positive or negative, must have zero decimal positions, and can be one of: an array element, table name, data structure, field, named constant, or numeric literal. If increment-value is not specified on the ENDDO, the increment defaults to 1. If increment-value is negative, the DO group will never end.

Conditioning indicators are optional for ENDDO or ENDFOR and not allowed for ENDCS, ENDIF, ENDMON, and ENDSL.

Resulting indicators are not allowed. No operands are allowed for ENDCS, ENDIF, ENDMON, and ENDSL.

If one ENDyy form is used with a different operation group (for example, ENDIF with a structured group), an error results at compilation time.

See the CASxx, DO, DOUxx, DOWxx, FOR, IFxx, and DOU, DOW, IF, MONITOR, and SELECT operations for examples that use the ENDyy operation.
