You can't enclose loop labels the way you sugested at the end of a loop. Your sugestion is a proper sintax for labeling the begining of the loop, but for refering this label at the end of the loop you must use label name without brackets. Note that you can refer to nonexisting label at the end of a loop (that is, even if you didn't define a label at the begining of the loop you are allowed to put a nonexisting label name in an END LOOP statement).
Thanks anyway for a suggestion.
