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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ An ELSE clause appears without a corresponding IF.
  Sometimes this error is caused by incorrectly nested IF
  statements.
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Insert the IF keyword at the beginning of the IF...END IF
    structure.
 
  • Check other control structures within the IF...END IF
    block to verify that they are correctly matched. For
    example, a nested IF block without a matching END IF
    inside the outer IF...END IF block may generate this
    error.
 
■ If you need additional help, move the cursor to a keyword
