Just because you are using an indicator, doesn't mean the system is isn't 
doing a compare. The system is comparing done to *on. Always use compare 
cycles for all versions of loops,

I always like use an indicator variable for inifinite loops:

      D Done            s               n   inz(*off)
       /free
        DOU Done;
           //Do Stuff
        ENDDO;
       /end-free

Then I use LEAVE to get out and never touch Done. This way you don't have 
to worry about the upper limits of *HIVAL nor do you waste cycles 
comparing 1 to 1.

  In fix format, I use to do below for infinite loop
  C                do        *hival
 
 
  is there a way to do this similar syntax in free format with declare a
  variable?
