Colon Operator in APDL Macro
Folks,
I was recently reviewing an APDL script online. In the script I noticed the author had a line that said...
:SRS
and another line that said...
:TRANS
I don't know what the colon operator does in APDL, nor "srs" or "trans." Has anyone else seen these in APDL scripting? Can you share a link for the discussion in Help, or give some explanation?

I haven't seen that I a long time. I never used it much, but it's like a
GoTo statement in Fortran. You can label a location in your macro, then
based on a conditional statement, tell it to jump to that location.
Sort of like this:
*if, day, eq, Friday, then
*go, bar
*endif

I recall from my Fortran days, that GoTo statements were considered a poor
programming practice. APDL is sort of Fortran based, so I think that
applies there too. That's why you don't see it used much. You can usually
accomplish the same thing with the various conditional statements like *if,
then, elseif, etc..

Hi,
yes, it is not good practice using GoTo statements, but these labels can be used with the /input command. I find it useful. For instance I use that for creating configuration files with different sections headed by such labels and ended by /eof. Macros can read the appropriate section by means of these labels (/input,file,ext,dir,:label)

Betreff: [Xansys] Re: [External] - Colon Operator in APDL Macro
I recall from my Fortran days, that GoTo statements were considered a poor programming practice. APDL is sort of Fortran based, so I think that applies there too. That's why you don't see it used much. You can usually accomplish the same thing with the various conditional statements like *if, then, elseif, etc..

Joesph,
Thanks for this feedback. Do you know if it's documented anywhere? Or is it one of those hidden syntaxes that only longtime users know about?

I haven't seen that I a long time. I never used it much, but it's like a GoTo statement in Fortran. You can label a location in your macro, then based on a conditional statement, tell it to jump to that location.
Sort of like this:
*if, day, eq, Friday, then
*go, bar
*endif

:bar
/input, beer

Folks,
I was recently reviewing an APDL script online. In the script I noticed the
author had a line that said...
:SRS
and another line that said...
:TRANS
I don't know what the colon operator does in APDL, nor "srs" or "trans."
Has anyone else seen these in APDL scripting? Can you share a link for the
discussion in Help, or give some explanation?
