Re: Simple Display file problem

In free format you can do things more like you're thinking of, like
/free
 x=y;
 exec sql declare c1 cursor for ...;
 exec sql open c1;
 loop=*on;
 dow loop;
   exec sql fetch c1 into ...;
   if sqlstt> ...;
     loop=*off;
   else;
    // main body
   EndIf;
 EndDo;
 *inlr=*on;
 exec sql close c1;
 return;
/end-free

However, when stuck in V5R3 and before I started breaking everything down 
into subprocedures
/free
 OpenCursor();
 dow FetchCursor();
   // main body
 EndDo;
 CloseCursor();
 *inlr=*on
 return;
/end-free

Made for a nice looping structure and put the ugly fixed format stuff down 
into subprocedures.
