labelref

Draft MDC Standard

8.1.6.2 Label reference labelref

When the Do or Job commands or exfunc include parameters to be passed to the specified routine, the +intexpr form of entryref is not permitted and the specified line must be a formalline. The line specification labelref is used instead:

    labelref::=

label [ ^ [ VB environment VB ] routinename
^ [ VB environment VB ] routinename


If the routine reference ( ^ [ VB environment VB ] routinename ) is absent, the routine being executed is implied. If the line reference ( label ) is absent, the first line is implied. If the labelref includes an environment, then the routine is fetched from the specified environment. Reference to a non-existent environment causes an error condition with an ecode = "M26".

In the context of a Do or Job command, an exfunc, or an exvar, a spelling of label which does not occur in a defining occurrence in the given routine causes an error condition with ecode = "M13".
