RE: IF NOT %FOUND

<Roger>
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;
</Roger>

My favourite is: reading in a subprocedure returning a boolean. Then it looks like:

dow readSomething();
... doSomething();
enddo;
