Re: read on a do loop

Rich,

I also prefer to code this way.  I'd rather code two read statements than
code two end conditions.  Using DoW instead of DoU does cause one problem.
You can't use Iter in the body of the loop.

ReadExample();
DoW MoreRecords();
   If Condition;
      Iter; // Oooops! the loop will never end
   EndIf;
   ReadExample();
EndDo;

The other functions you mention do return a value and not an error
condition.  If the read_example() routine returned some number like the RRN
or  key of the record read instead of an indicator then I'd agree with you.
