Re: sql fetch, wasn't there something we could put in the sql select statement, or the sql fetch to "look ahead" to see if we are at the end

<Javier>
When you use that approach, you actually make the precompiler generate
twice the call to the fetch with a different set of variables, different
from the ones it created for the initial fetch. Not that is a bad thing,
but only a waste of resources. Of course the speed of execution is so fast
that it may not be a performance issue.
</Javier>

... simply move the fetch to an extra procedure readSomething

to enhance this approach:
let the procedure readSomething return true if the fetch was succesfull and false at EOF
move all stuff to process a record to a procedure doSomething
and your code will look like:

dow readSomething;
doSomething();
enddo;

D*B,
