RE: a little bit of confusion

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From an old timer (since 1984); the factor one on the ENDSR functions just
like the TAG op code, this is an old school of thought/style of programming.
I have not looked at the reference manual as of late, but it should still
refer to that situation.

Subject: a little bit of confusion


I am trying to visually debug a vendor's program. I have come across a
situation that I am unfamiliar with, and can use some assistance. This is a
code extract:

        WRTREC  BEGSR

                        [do some process]

                        GOTO                    WRTR99

                        [do some process]

        FIELDA          CABEQ                   WRTR99

                        [do some process]


        WRTR99  ENDSR


1. I have never seen a case where the Factor 1 value for BEGSR is different
than the Factor 1 value for the ENDSR. Is this not strange?2. Also, I am
familiar with GOTO (but don't use it) and CABEQ. However, I thought that
both GOTO and CABEQ were supposed to be associated with TAG. There is not
tag named WRTR99 anywhere in the source. Can GOTO and CABEQ be used with the
factor 1 value for BEGSR or ENDSR?

Thanks in advance for your help.
