First, DO on its own just DOes once so there is little point in it. 
Second, ITER branches to the loop condition; what you really want to do 
is leave the loop so LEAVE would be more appropriate than ITER. ITER 
works in this case **ONLY** because your loop executes only once. I 
think that is an appalling use of a loop construct because you don't 
want to loop at all. See Paul Tuohy's append for an example of what you 
should have coded. Even without SELECT you can do this with IF and ELSE 
conditions. There is no need for DO and ITER.

I agree that a LEAVE would be more appropriate, but that is it.  

Of course that is the only reason ITER/LEAVE works in this scenario, because
I have no clause on the DO.  While I don't think it is "appalling" I am
soaking up as much info from you guys as I can to sharpen my skills :-)

Thanks everyone for your comments, I do appreciate them.
