>From these tips Razzak posted a while back, I don't see why you couldn't and still be optimized as long as all values are <pre-delcared> before you get into the loop.
Jim Limburg Tips: 01. Datatype variables at the beginning of a command file or before the WHILE loop is executed. Don't datatype variables inside the WHILE loop, they won't be optimized. 02. The variables used in any optimized command can change values as the WHILE loop iterations are executed, but they cannot change data types and cannot be cleared (with the CLEAR VAR command). 03. The value can be reset to NULL (SET VAR vname = NULL) but not cleared. 04. If you determine that the problem is with an optimized command, review the rules above, you may be clearing, retyping or not data typing a variable. Well, that should give you pretty good idea.
