IGNORE
|
This document covers the following topics:
The IGNORE statement is an "empty" statement which itself does
not perform any function.
During the development phase of an application, you can insert IGNORE
temporarily within statement blocks in which one or more statements are required, but
which you intend to code later (for example, within AT
BREAK or AT START OF
DATA / AT END OF
DATA). This allows you to continue programming in another part of the
application without the as yet incomplete statement block leading to an error.
The IGNORE statement must also be used in condition statements, such as
IF or DECIDE FOR, if no function is to be performed in the case of
a condition being met.
