Thx. Just don’t know why it sometimes throws an error when tracing. It says 
something like an endif or while block not closed

Your command file contains an IF...THEN command line without a matching ENDIF, 
a SWITCH without a matching ENDSW or a WHILE...THEN command line without a 
matching ENDWHILE. Enter ENDIF, ENDSW or ENDWHILE to close the loop.

But they are all in there. I will keep checking.

BTW,  I like the parameter passing idea from inside the while loop.

It's okay to move around inside of a while loop, but never to take you outside 
of the while loop.

If I need to do something like that, I would:

while 1 = 1 then
   If <something> then
      set var vAction = 'quit'
      break
   endif

endwhile

set var vAction text
If vAction = 'quit' then
  goto somewhereelse
endif

Is using goto label commands not a good idea inside while loops?

I was tracing a command file and noticed it would give me an error.

TIA
