As someone observed earlier, that is not particularly intuitive. The "For" construct is, in my opinion, more logical in construction, mostly because it is not limited to columnar formatting as is the "DO". That is not to say the contruction is perfect. The COBOL "Perform" operation is probably more intuitive, but also more wordy. That's not a problem for me, but apparently, it is to some. The "For" construct offers a good compromise between the RPG DO and the COBOL "Perform" and has the advantage of high recognition among IS professionals. Just my opinion, of course. Donald R.
