VMS Help FORTRAN, Statements, DO_WHILE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  Executes a block of statements repeatedly until the value of a
  logical expression is false.  Statement format:

     DO [s[,]] WHILE (e)

     s  Is the label of an executable statement that follows
        the DO statement in the same program unit. The label
        designates the last statement of the DO loop. If
        omitted, an END DO statement is required.

     e  Is a logical expression.  You can reference and modify
        the variable elements of the expression within the
        DO loop.

  You can transfer control out of a DO WHILE loop but not into a loop
  from elsewhere in the program.

  The DO WHILE statement tests the logical expression at the
  beginning of each execution of the loop, including the first.  If
  the value of the expression is true, the statements in the body of
  the loop are executed; if the expression is false, control
  transfers to the statement following the loop.

  If no label appears in the DO WHILE statement, the DO WHILE loop
  must be terminated with an END DO statement.
