Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ In block IF...THEN...ELSE constructs, IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, and
  END IF can only be preceded by a line number or label.
 
■ In SELECT...END SELECT constructs, CASE and END SELECT can
  be preceded only by a line number or label.
 
■ Possible solution:

    statement.
