I love it when folks use a loop to add up vm's. And not the simple Sum command.
Seen that a bit in the code I work in.
Goto's never bother me. I came from a 4GL language called Ezgen, and it only
had GO'tos. Had no such thing as gosub. The only way to do a gosub type is to
make it a called program. We did that for routines that are used multiple
times, no gosubs. I am getting out of the habit and only use go-tos' when I
really feel there is cause. Took a bit though :).
Thanks,

the use of goto's or lack of shouldn't be a judge of sloppy coding .
sloppy coding is just sloppy coding.
remember one persons slop is another persons pudding :)
example 1:
y=0
loop
readnext z else y = 1
if y = 1 then exit
<< do stuff >>
repeat
<< more stuff >>
vs
example 2:
10: readnext claim_id else goto 20
<< do stuff >>
goto 10
20: << more stuff >>
vs
example 3
loop readnext claim_id else exit
<< do stuff >>
repeat
<< more stuff >>
