Well, not trying to (re)start the top/middle-tested loop argument, but 
I've always preferred this...

setll (field1: field2) file1;
reade (field1: field2) file1;
dow NOT %eof(file1);
 
   if someConditionIsMet;
       ...doStuff();
   endif;

   reade (field1: field2) file1;
enddo;

Yes, this is my standard process now as well.

I put a slight tweak on it:

setll (field1: field2) file1r;
dou %eof(file1);
 
   reade (field1: field2) file1r;
   if %eof(file1);
     leave;
   endif;

   if someConditionNotMet;
     iter;
   endif;

    ...doStuff

enddo;
