There's been some odd suggestions and much griping about this, but I thought
I'd make my own contribution:
DO I=INDEX,1,-1
SELECT CASE(I)
CASE(10)
! 10 stuff
CASE(9)
! 9 stuff
...
END SELECT
END DO
Increases your code length by 3 lines, is quite clear, no code duplication.
It's also amenable to automated replacement of existing code.
