RE: Leave / Iter (was: Suggested Technique)

["Joel Fritz" <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a matter of style, but to me the advantage is that the loop control
statement is what decides whether or not to continue.  If I had people
working for me I don't think I'd force them to do loops that way.   

I generally use INDARRA in my display files and have names for the
function keys, but I was trying to make it simple.  I could have used
INKC. <g> I work in a shop that doesn't use an aid byte copy member.
Explicit indicator reference is the norm.

What's the real difference from a maintenance perspective if I use:
 EXIT_MODE = QUIT

or if I use:
  LEAVE or LEAVESR

It just seems strange that someone would advocate (and I'm not say you
Joel) avoiding Leave/LeaveSR and then use *IN03 in their code
illustrating the point.
