To: J3 J3/20-138 From: Malcolm Cohen Subject: CHANGE/END TEAM not branch target? Date: 2020-October-02 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBER: F18/0022 TITLE: CHANGE TEAM and END TEAM are not branch target statements KEYWORDS: CHANGE TEAM branch target DEFECT TYPE: Erratum STATUS: J3 consideration in progress QUESTION: Consider the code fragment: IF (condition) GO TO 100 ... 100 CHANGE TEAM (x) ... IF (condition2) GO TO 200 ... 200 END TEAM This seems anodyne enough to be unobjectionable, but the CHANGE TEAM and END TEAM statements are not listed in the definition of branch target statement in 3.18 nor in the list in 11.2.1 Branch concepts. Are CHANGE TEAM and END TEAM intended to be valid branch targets? ANSWER: A, Yes, these statements were intended to be valid as branch targets; their omission from the list of branch target statements was inadvertent. Edits are provided to correct this omission. EDITS to 18-007r1: [22:36] 3.18 branch target statement, before "" insert ", ,". [196:26] 11.2.1 Branch concepts, p1, before "" insert ", ,".
