An interesting discussion came up the other day.  Leastways, it was
interesting to me.

To read through a subfile in olden days we could use READC and SFLNXTCHG.  

Then it became a lot easier and just as fast to loop, reading every subfile
record, with a dou loop. 

Then along came the FOR loop and I am hearing that we should use a FOR loop,
from 1 to SFLRECS, where SFLRECS is the size of the subfile.

What are the thoughts of those here assembled?
