It's interesting to consider the possible solutions if there were 50
possible values for K@FAC rather than just 3.  Using a nested loop would
get nasty.  Terri's current solution would possibly be better, since
it's flat, even though it's kind of ugly.  But a regular loop over the
values would be best (imho, best even with 3 possible values).

W@GOOD = *blank;
i = 1;
dow W@GOOD = *blank;
   K@FAC = candidate(i);
   exsr $100;
   i = i + 1;
enddo;
if W@GOOD = *blank;
   W@GOOD = 'NO';
endif;
