>Yes, You are absolutely right that should be the first try after the brackets ... actually, it's a good reminder for us humans too. However EXTERNAL ARRAY sometimes simply does *not* work. I had times where the Compiler simply ignored it.
It happened to me as well, I wish this crossed my mind back then.
However for this case of 'predictable' conditions
I always liked this ;
if 1=2
.
endif
do while 1=1
.
enddo
