34. Are macpas LEAVE and CYCLE statements undocumented ?
Yes.
Well, according to Appendix D.6 of the Programmer's Manual, CYCLE is
equivalent to CONTINUE and LEAVE to BREAK. Contrary to the information
presented there, the CYCLE and LEAVE statements have been implemented for
macpas mode.
I don't see BREAK and CONTINUE in the syntax diagrams either. I put together
some examples (stressing that I am not a proponent of these C constructs).
That is because "break" and "continue" as well as leave are not keywords:
you can use them as identifiers.
As such they are considered normal procedure calls and are documented in the
system unit.
That explains why they're not in the syntax diagrams: when they appear, they are
treated as procedure calls.
Michael.
