Re: Good places to use "The Cycle" in today's RPG was->Re: FW: Niftiest thing(s) you have done in RPG ILE or /FREE

While I agree that GOTOs are not required in cycle programs, I have probably
only seen a handful of cycle programs that did not use them. There is
usually always some record you don't want.

gotos suck and have nothing to do with the cycle. the only
commonality is the lack of imagination for the programmer.

Usually when I find cycle programs that do not have GOTOs, it's because they
are some kind of work file.

sigh.

Personally I find the ITER or LEAVESR can always replace a GOTO, if and only
if it's not a cycle program ;-)

double sigh:
