especially as you cited things that don't even exist in PL/I as being derived from FORTRAN.
Put up or shut up.
And you still haven't answered whether you seriouslyu believe thaat the FORTRAN DO resembles the PL/I DO more than the ALGOL FOR statement does.
Read what I wrote.
Your purported explanation of the difference in DO between FORTRAN and PL/I is ludicrous, because the rules for "white spacew" in FORTRAN and PL/I are very different.
White space has noting to do with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
