RE: what is unclear - LEAVE

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You mean there is another way to do it other than DOW? :)
Of course with the DOU you can always add the additional IF EOF after the
first read to check for EOF in a DOU.  I learned the priming read with the
read at the bottom of the loop eons ago in college and it is the only way
that feels good to me.
