If you can change $100 to be a sub-procedure that accept K@FAC as parm
with return value as W@GOOD, then you can do below

//Try 30 first 
Eval    W@Good = $100(30) 

//Try 10 when 30 failed
If      W@Good = *blank
Eval    W@Good = $100(10) 

//Try 20 when 30 failed
If      W@Good = *blank
Eval    W@Good = $100(20) 
Endif


If above is not an option, below might improve a bit:

C                   eval      W@Good = 'NO'   
C                   for       tryCount=1 to 3 
 * determine value of retry                   
C                   select                    
C                   when      tryCount = 1    
C                   eval      K@FAC = 30      
C                   when      tryCount = 2    
C                   eval      K@FAC = 10      
C                   when      tryCount = 3    
C                   eval      K@FAC = 20      
C                   endsl                     
                                              
C                   exsr      $100            
C                   endfor

Hi,
      Thanks for the sharp eyes. I missed the missing DO loop.  Now a
related question, since I am trying to modernize this program a bit,
what would be the best way to rewrite this?
      Just add the DO loop
      Change it to a series of IF statements
      Come other way
