Answer / nag(igate)

Yes, Before advancing clause is there. but it is default in
perform statement.

ex:
Perform para1 varying I from 1 by 1 until I > 10 { test
before or after}
1. if we code before: the condition will check first then
loop will execute. it is default.
2. if we code after: the loop will execute first then
condition will check.

pls correct me, if i am wrong..............
