because it would be impossible for ID to be an attribute mark via
readnext.
If you later test for ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) there's only one way that could have
happened.
I'll admit to occasionally doing similar things:
READ REC ... ELSE REC = @IM ;* something impossible.
or
LAST.BREAKDAT = @AM ; * init to something impossible
LOOP
...
BREAKDAT = REC< 10 >
IF BREAKDAT = LAST.BREAKAT THEN
GOSUB INCREMENT.TOTALS
END ELSE
GOSUB BREAKPOINT
LAST.BREAKDAT = BREAKDAT
END
...
REPEAT
But with readnext I do prefer to dispense with flags and extra coding
LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID
. . .
REPEAT
I believe any statement that has THEN & ELSE clauses can be used this
way.
E.g.:
LOOP WHILE READSEQ LINE FROM F
. . .
REPEAT
