Yeah, it is definitely an awesome feature! I think it's faster too,
when
iterating over a large set of records, because you're not making the
NEXT RECORD() call every time (at least in the very limited
benchmarking
tests I did ...)
For instance, looping through 60,000 records and writing out a field
took about 3.3 seconds using "for each" syntax, and 5.3 seconds
using a
standard "for($i;1;records in selection)" syntax.
The time difference you are seeing there probably has to do with the
savings in runtime overhead of parsing and executing NEXT RECORD()
60,000 times.
