Now, in my mind I would have instead just created a READ/DO/READ/ENDDO structure in the mainline of the program, but that is just opinion. Outside of input primary read type programs where you process the entire file, what other purposes are there where "the cycle is the best tool for the job"?

As it turns out, I find myself writing quite a few programs that have to at least *take a quick look* at every record of a file.

As to other situations, I've frequently used The Cycle as the event-loop of interactive programs, with LR tied to F3.
