Subject:      How Can I Do Repeat an Index?

Hi there.

I am trying to index variations of address information (e.g. Avenue,
Street, Blvd) using DO REPEAT without any luck.  The syntax below
only returns the last good value (ie. it writes over values with a 0).  Any
suggestions?  I think I need a BREAK or DO IF somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

NUMERIC PSTRTYPE (F2).
DO REPEAT
 LOCATE =  ' AVEN' , 'AVE ' , 'AVENUE' , 'STREE' , 'STREET' , ' ST' .
 COMPUTE PSTRTYPE = INDEX (ADDR1, LOCATE).
END REPEAT.
