Continuation Problem

[João Luís Matos de Carvalho (DISNI)]

Hi,
Can someone help me with this :
I'm trying to build a Panel that will be a front end of a apllication that
I'm doind, and this panel have a lot of vars., so, when I declare the
variables, I have to continue in the next line.
The question is, what is the sintax for this continuation. Example :

.ZVARS='(ds1,ds2,ds3,ds4,ds5,ds6,ds7,ds7,ds9,ds10,ds11,ds12,ds13,ds14,
------> Putting the code like this, it will give error
ds15,ds16,ds17,ds18,period,dp1,dp2,dp3,dp4,dp5,dp6,dp7,dp8)'

Atenciosamente,

You need a "+" as a continuation:

.ZVARS='(ds1,ds2,ds3,ds4,ds5,ds6,ds7,ds7,ds9,ds10,ds11,ds12,ds13,ds14, +
ds15,ds16,ds17,ds18,period,dp1,dp2,dp3,dp4,dp5,dp6,dp7,dp8)'

Did you try it with a + at the end of the first line?

.ZVARS='(ds1,ds2,ds3,ds4,ds5,ds6,ds7,ds7,ds9,ds10,ds11,ds12,ds13,ds14, + <------
ds15,ds16,ds17,ds18,period,dp1,dp2,dp3,dp4,dp5,dp6,dp7,dp8)'

IIRC, you end the line that is to be continued with a space and a plus sign
(+). Like this:

.ZVARS='(ds1,ds2,ds3,ds4,ds5,ds6, +
ds7,ds8,ds9,ds10,ds11,ds12)

Modify to fit your needs, of course.

Hope that helps.

My recollection is that - apart from the approach shown by others - you
can do something like:

&list1 = 'ds1 ds2 ds3 ds4 ds5 ds6 ds7 ds8'
&list2 = 'ds9 ds10 ds11 ds12 ds13 ds14 ds15 ds16'
.ZVARS = '(&list1 &list2)'

Personally I prefer this as there's always a risk of continuation chars
getting lost. I also prefer it for instances like:

&dvars = 'd1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7'
&evars = 'e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7'
&fvars = 'f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7'
.ZVARS = '(&dvars &evars &fvars)'

Unless I'm mistaken, it would be more like this:

&vl = 'a b c'
&vl = &vl 'd e f'
.zvars = '(&vl)'

Looks good to me. Would

&vl = 'a b c'
&vl = '&vl d e f'
.zvars = '(&vl)'

be any improvement?

to make continuations in a panel you have to put a plus(+) at end of line (same syntax like in CLIST)

I'm afraid you are indeed mistaken; variables inside quotes are correctly
substituted, but recoding it with the variable outside gave me:

Invalid statement found within )INIT, )REINIT, or )PROC section.

PS Actually I just use continuations anyway and didn't realise there was a
problem until this thread :-) here's one picked more or less at random; it
doesn't seem to me that the continuation marks 'get lost'.

&varlist = 'rsvudb2 rsvutbl rsvuyr +
rsvumn rsvudy rsvust +
rsvwkst rsvmode rsvejcl'
.zvars = '(&varlist)'

PPS I only just realised (as I subscribe to ISPF-L too) that we're on the
wong list :-(
