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;

Well that explains why it didn't work.

Doesn't explain why no one noticed it in over a decade ;)

Thanks
