Re: Leave outside of DO group???

No my little MQC - you are practical - not lazy.

I hate goto with a passion. Have been burnt by it so many times.

I've never been burnt by Leave or Iter - both are obvious, clear, unambiguous. Purists can scream all they want, they work. Often code written to avoid them is far worse.

I like James' explanation here but I stay more on the Practical side. If
I copy a chunk of code or move a chunk of code and there are "GoTo"
instructions I must carefully analyze the tags and determine if they
also must be moved or if new ones must be created. Failure to do so can
break program logic very badly. With a loop that utilizes Leave in
addition to a normal exit 'at the bottom' it's very easily portable with
essentially no risk to primary program flow.

Translation: I am lazy. :-)
