Then again, if it's there, and it can be made to serve a 
valid purpose while saving you a step or two, you may as 
well.
Which is to say, I've written lots of programs that use 
The Cycle as an event loop, and a few that use it to ride 
around an entire file, and a few that use it to ride 
around some chunk of a file (the prototype I've been 
working on does this on one of the two files it accesses 
through RPG-native I/O (everything else goes through SQL 
CLI). But I don't think I've ever had the need to use 
EVERY feature of The Cycle, because I don't really have 
much use for a band-driven report generator.
