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 like IF or
DECIDE FOR, if no
function is to be performed in the case of a condition being met.
