I think you have reinvented COBOL :-)

PERFORM ADDING-FUNCTION VARYING INDEX FROM 1 BY 2 UNTIL INDEX IS GREATER THAN 42 THEN REPEAT EAT-BURGERS WHILE KETCHUP-LEVEL IS NOT LESS THAN ZERO.

This didn’t help managers to code in the 1950s and it’s not likely to help in the 2020s either, though that shouting made it sound important.

(Actually, the shouting was because many OSes and most printers couldn’t deal with lower case letters.)
