The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
At the end of the day, ALL control opcodes are GOTOs. Since this is a
very strict one (returning to the beginning of the loop), then I
personally don't consider as egregious as the GOTO:LABEL of olden
times. I prefer ITER to large nested IFs for multiple conditions.
But you have to remember, I worked on the Series/1. Not only did we
embrace the GOTO, we were able to programmatically modify the target of
our GOTO at runtime. Heck, we could change where our subroutines would
RETURN to. :)

I was always told, check to enter a loop and check to leave a loop.
ITER! GOTO in wolf's clothing?
