If you're not really repeating the loop (i.e. the EXIT just before the
repeat), why do you need a loop/repeat?

What's wrong with:

   code
   code
   IF NOT(condition) THEN
      more code
   END

Subject: [U2] Does UV have a "BLOCK" command

I want to setup a block of commands,  and be able to exit out of the block
if needed.
Right now I use a LOOP/REPEAT with an EXIT statement before the REPEAT.
I'd rather not use labels  (or subroutines).
The Loop/Repeat works, it just looks weird since it isn't really a loop...
I tried using an IF block, but I couldn't use the EXIT within that block  IF
(1=1) THEN..........END

LOOP
   block code
   block code
   if condition then EXIT
   block code
   EXIT
REPEAT

Would be nice if....

BEGIN BLOCK
   block code
   block code
   if condition then EXIT
   block code
END BLOCK
