And another tool I have which helps is to add comments to the end of the terminating commands - e.g. ENDIF, ENDFOR, ENDDO, EXIT etc. which help to identify the branch / loop.

I dislike the clutter intensely, and if the condition changes, there are then two places to change.

... With terminating comments...

DO WHILE .T.

IF NOT BETWEEN(HOUR(DATETIME()), 1, 15)  && 01:00:00 to 14:59:59

  EXIT && DO WHILE .T.

ENDIF && NOT BETWEEN(HOUR(DATETIME()), 1, 15)  && 01:00:00 to 14:59:59

SELECT w_bnTrack

  *- Check if this track has runs today.
