RE: CHAIN Versus SETLL and READ When Data Needed

I agree with you about the LEAVE command, Randy. I don't see that as 
following the 'rules' of structured coding. 

The other construct I don't agree with is the INZSR subroutine. This is a 
solution to a problem that no longer exists. The problem it fixes goes 
back to pure cycle programming, and the situation is the times when you 
need to do some processing _BEFORE_ the first record is read. It must have 
stayed in the problem queue at IBM long enough to finally bubble to the 
top of the TO DO list. What we have now is a executable code that can be 
hidden anywhere in the program, but is never explicitly called. That is 
NOT structured, documented code.
