Yes, I have seen it done the way you suggest with no ill effects. My
personal style is to loop back to the export ascii line, but I believe that
you can do it this way if you wish.
I suppose one drawback would be the fact that there may be a case where none
of your if conditions are true - if that happens then you will still get a
blank line in your export file - probably not what you want.
