------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted for Tony Jenkins, CIM Unit, Leeds University (UK), tony@cim.leeds.ac.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A rather strange query, but we really have got a good reason... ;-) Does anyone know how to do an unconditional branch in Ingres 4GL (that's a GOTO, for any BASIC programmers)?? The Ingres in question is Release 6 running under VAX/VMS. Any help appreciated, please send replies to one of the email addresses below. Thanks, Tony. =============================================================================== Tony Jenkins, Royal Snail: The CIM Unit, University of Leeds Industrial Services, 175 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, UK.

I'll bet you can live without them. jas (*) Yes, of *course* :-)
