Core Statements Assignment Statement The assignment core statement assigns the value of an expression to a specified variable. variable = [ expression ] CALL The CALL core statement calls an NCL procedure.
Core Statements END The END core statement ends a DO group, or a FUNCTION, PROCEDURE, or SELECT statement. END [ label ] EXIT The EXIT core statement ends the current procedure and returns control to the caller. EXIT [ expression ] FLUSH The FLUSH core statement immediately terminates an NCL process. FLUSH FUNCTION The FUNCTION core statement declares a user-written function.
Core Statements IF The IF core statement evaluates an expression and selects an execution path based on the outcome. IF expression THEN true-statement(s) [ ELSE false-statement(s) ] ITERATE The ITERATE core statement performs the next iteration of a repetitive DO group by logically passing control to the DO group's END statement. ITERATE [ label ] LEAVE The LEAVE core statement exits a repetitive DO group. LEAVE [ label-ref ] NOP The NOP core statement performs no action.
Core Statements RESUME The RESUME core statement returns control to the NCL line of code directly after the statement that caused an ON block to be executed. RESUME RETRY The RETRY core statement returns to and retries the statement that caused an ON block to be executed. RETRY RETSUB The RETSUB core statement returns to the statement after the most recently executed GOSUB statement in a procedure. RETSUB [ num-expr ] RETURN The RETURN core statement returns from a called function or procedure.
Core Statements Format 2 [ label:] SELECT expression-2 [ STRICT ] WHEN expression-3 THEN statement [ statement … ] … [ OTHERWISE statement [ statement … ] ] END [ label ] SIGNAL The SIGNAL core statement either generates a specified condition or transfers control to a specific label.
