 I'm curious.  I use a loop similar to the one below to place the
program into a wait state until a condition is met.  In this case,
entries have been remove from a data queue so it's save to add another
one.  It prevents the program from overflowing the data queue.  It is
prefaced with several lines of comments explaining why the loop is
there.

        DoW 1 = -1
                If data queue is not full
                        leave
                EndIf
        EndDo

If this isn't the way one should do this kind of thing, how should it be
done?

Rick

Ok...  let me explain.
I'm running a test on emailing pdf's.  That section of code
deletes the spool file after it's sent.  I don't want the
spool file deleted because for now I want to manually do
stuff to it.  Once I'm done, I'm removing the if statement. 
I don't want to comment out the section of code cause I don't
want the date to change on the code line because it's not
really changed.  I would never ever stick a line of code in
like that if it was going to production.
