Yes, I'm building a table from a file that may be empty, and the logic seems easier with the test at the front, but I can still rework it.

Caution: This email did not originate from George Mason’s mail system. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Have you got a use case where a BXH-top loop is better than BXLE-bottom? I used to prefer BXH at the top, but ultimately that didn't seem to offer any advantage over BXLE at the bottom in a table scan, which is almost all my usage of it. sas On Wed, Oct 23, 2024 at 3:53 PM Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> wrote: > I was hoping something came in as an SPE. > >
