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

Wow, just back from lunch and so many posts. I consider ITER and LEAVE to
be backwards from the way I think. I condition on what I want to do not on
what I don't want to do.

dou eof;
read file;
if not eof;
processdata;
endif;
enddo;

This makes more sense to me than;

dou eof;
read file;
if eof;
leave;
endif;
processdata;
enddo;

That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

Regards,

Guy

If you don't use ITER or LEAVE do you just have a giant IF statement, with
loads of nested IF's? I really can't see how you could right a program
that
uses logic any other way, but then again just because I can't think if
doesn't mean there is not a way.
