I noticed the error in the DOU loop after I posted it. I was surprised how
long it took before someone pointed it out. :-)

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.
Not eight days into the new year and already we have had abuse from
Pluta, the cycle wars, and now variations on GOTO/LEAVE/ITER/etc.
Thanks for nothing people. Obviously not enough work for you at this
time of year. 2009 looks like being a repetition of previous years--
so much to look forward to!
By the way both those forms suck. The correct form is a priming-read
loop:
read file;
dow not(eof(file));
processdata;
read file;
enddo;
