>In many instances, the use of FOR...NEXT is quite simply the wrong choice of iteration structures. If the loop is to terminate conditionally, then DO WHILE...ENDDO is correct. There are exceptions, however. In this instance, performance may be a reason. However, in that case, you would need to be in the midst of an loop structure with many millions of iterations. Short of that, performance isn't an issue.

In that particular case I used as example, there are several loops one inside the other. All loops should run till completion if user doesn't terminate. I didn't see a simple way without using exit. I know, it's not a best way to use exit. While ago my husband described me problems with "go to" kind of operators. I'll discuss this problem with him again today.
