My personal preference, for what it's worth, is to follow IBM's examples. They
appear to prevent "re-assignments later" by coding only one SELECT statement
and use EXIT only for errors. They also use indenting and commenting for
readability and understandability.

I almost always code an EXIT statement to prevent re-assignments later in the
code. When I chose not to
code an EXIT, it's because I've specifically chosen not to & understand exactly
what it means.
It's all personal preference in the end, but why not take the opportunity
to help yourself right from the beginning?
