RE: read on a do loop

Hi Rob, Jeff,

IF/ELSEIF is pretty much the same as SELECT, without the SELECT.

SELECT
 WHEN a = b
   do something
 WHEN c = d
   do something else
 OTHER
   do anything
ENDSL

IF a = b
  do something
ELSEIF c = d
  do something else
ELSE
  do anything
ENDIF

are equivalent.
