Jim: It was confusing to me, but I think Dan is actually typing the error message that HE is getting when he has his problem. I think his error message is saying that it can't find the endif and the endwhile in HIS code, which makes sense because jumping out of a while loop with a goto would make it "lose" those crucial "end" commands. Which of course usually leads to a memory leak problem and cause all kinds of weirdness.

Her ENDWHILE closes the loop. Everything looks OK to me in her example.

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.

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 Karen -----Original Message----- From: Dan Goldberg <[email protected]> To: rbase-l <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, May 7, 2018 1:41 pm Subject: [RBASE-L] - using goto labels in while loop Is using goto label commands not a good idea inside while loops?
