Re: conditioning indicator on an ENDDO

Given the following code,

 C  N40                ENDDO

does this mean the loop is left at EOF (or a proper read with MASTS <>
'A')?

(yeah, I know, it's UGLY).


I for one had to look it up in the Reference manual. Yes, the loop exits when *IN40 is on. I suppose these days more enlightened RPG programmers would code that as:

     DOW MASTS <> 'A';
         READE TKMANO MAFILEL6
         IF %EOF(MAFILEL6);
             LEAVE;
         ENDIF;
     ENDDO;
