C     KEY      SETLL  FILEXXX
C     KEY      READE  FILEXXX                 90

C     *IN90    DOWEQ  *ON

C     XXXCODE  IFEQ   'B'
C              LEAVE
C              ENDIF
 
C     XXXCODE  IFNE   'A'
   <.... whatever process ....>
C              ENDIF

C     KEY      READE  FILEXXX                 90
C              ENDDO

Ta-Da!!!!!!
