John,
That is an indication there is likely something amiss in your IF block before the ELSE, or between ELSE and ENDIF. Have you RStyled the code? Look for extra/missing quotes, parens, etc. Emmitt Dove Manager, DairyPak Business Systems Evergreen Packaging, Inc.

I have an IF statement checking for the existence of a file, and keep getting strange -ERROR- ENDWHILE, ENDSW or ENDIF missing in an input file ( 462). The behavior is if sfh_tmp.txt exists, DO THIS processes, but it chokes on ELSE. If the file doesn't exist, it processes correctly. The same holds true with wff_tmp.txt. SET VAR vSf = (CHKFILE('sfh_tmp.txt')) IF vSf = 1 THEN DO THIS ELSE DO THAT END IF CLEAR VAR vSf SET VAR vWf = (CHKFILE('wff_tmp.txt')) IF vWf = 1 THEN DO NOTHING ELSE DO SOMETHING END IF CLEAR VAR vWf The variables are filling correctly, with a 1 if found, and 0 if not.
