PERFORM statment in INCLUDE program

[Former Member]

Dear Friends

I have main program and I'm using include program,

In the include program, i want to use PERFORM statement and place subroutine program in the same include program, is it possible?

i was tried so many times,

but syntax error coming as follows,

Incorrect nesting: Before the statment "FORM" , the structure introduced by "IF" must be concluded with "ENDIF".

when I placed subroutine in the main program it's working properly

please suggest me what can i do or any helpful words.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

There may be an open IF .

Use endif before FORM.

Hi Nelson,

Incorrect nesting: Before the statment "FORM" , the structure introduced by "IF" must be concluded with "ENDIF".

Your error clearly specifies that the IF statement is not closed with ENDIF. Close it with ENDIF.

Hope this helps you.

Hi

Regarding your error, it's clearly suggest that you have to close your if statement.

so close it than check it.

Thanks for your reply

but problem is not the IF or ENDIF statement

because when i comment the subroutine part and PERFORM statement , that error missing.

it may be other case.

Hi,

Probably u r placing the cursor at wrong place. Write ur PERFORM statement in ur include, double click on that, It will ask where to create. Here select main program and enter. Now it will introduce

FORM...

ENDFORM

in the end of the main program. Now try to activate ur program(Select all the includes and main program at the same time and activate)

It will solve the issue.

Thanks,

Vinod.

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

Hy Nelson!!!

Wait!! ......just remember one thing that FORM ..ENDFORM should be after the END-OF-Selection.

so you are writing as..

START-OF-SELECTION.

include program.

edn-of-program.

so that form is coming in between Start-of-selection and end-of-selection...

just put that form ....Endform inside the main progam after end-of-selection your issue will be solved..
