RETURN in the middle of a DOW?

I am coding a module in a service program, and in this module, I am
coding a RETURN op in the middle of a DOW loop, because once the right
record is found, I want to return control to the caller.

If this module is called several times in the same activiation group,
and RETURNs several times in the middle of the DOW loop, are there any
consequences to subsequent calls?  I just can't help but think there
is going to be some 'stack overflow' or something.  All static
variable values are being handled to accomodate this, but it just
doesn't feel right.

Should I not be in a loop while RETURNing?
