I don't want to beat this to death, but Simon's last example could be further simplified (I know... so what?) and I think be just as clear as follows:

C DO
C READ FORMAT 90
C 90 LEAVE
C <<DO STUFF>>
C ENDDO

Believe me, I don't want to restir the conditioning indicator pot again, but in this case, I think it is pretty clear its purpose. Control of the section of code is clearly associated with the activity (READ). This isn't pure structured code, but it reads well.

The bare DO�ENDDO looks appealing, but it's verrrry slow, because processing leaves the loop for every read. Check my recent posts for details.
