The do loop caused the select to be processed multiple times...

Subject: Spam:SELECT & WHENEQ Question

Hi,
     I am rewriting an old program. It has the following chunk of code:

C                 MOVE        '30'          K@FAC
C     W@GOOD      DOUNE *BLANK
C                 SELECT
C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '30'
C                 EXSR        $100
C     W@GOOD      IFEQ        *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '10'          K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '10'
C                 EXSR        $100
C     W@GOOD      IFEQ        *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '20'          K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '20'
C                 EXSR        $100
C     W@GOOD      IFEQ         *BLANK
C                 MOVE        'NO '         W@GOOD
C                 ENDIF
C                 ENDSL
C                 ENDDO

Basically, it is trying to find the correct bill of material facility. It
could be in 30, 10 or 20.  I changed it a bit for readability.

C                 MOVE        *BLANK      W@GOOD
C                 MOVE        '30'        K@FAC
C                 SELECT
C*
C     K@FAC       WHENEQ      '30'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '10'        K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '10'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        '20'        K@FAC
C                 ENDIF
C     K@FAC WHENEQ      '20'
C                 EXSR        $100
C                 IF          W@GOOD = *BLANK
C                 MOVE        'NO '       W@GOOD
C                 ENDIF
C*
C                 ENDSL
C*

When I put it in debug, it does the first WHEN, changes K@FAC to '10', goes

to the next WHENEQ, then goes to the ENDSL.  Can anyone tell me why it no
longer works?
