I suppose it's just the way the parser works. My guess would be that Emmit's example should have worked for you as it was.
In my tortured mind, the parens force the following to equivocate to comparing booleans, with each side of the AND syntatically like a single RBase comparison where the left side is UN dotted. WHILE (finteger1 > 0) AND (finteger1 <= .finteger2) THEN I get that when you encase the variable by itself in parens that the parser treats the variable like an expression that can only result in its own contents, as Dennis showed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Parks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 1:04 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: [BULK] [RBASE-L] - RE: Integer as a condition in a while loop This "WHILE finteger1 >= 0 AND .finteger1 <= .finteger2 THEN" does work. Now, I'm curious, why is the first fInteger1 not dotted while the second is? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MikeB Posted At: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:51 AM Posted To: RB7-L Conversation: [BULK] [RBASE-L] - RE: Integer as a condition in a while loop Subject: [BULK] [RBASE-L] - RE: Integer as a condition in a while loop Importance: Low Emmitt's solution will work...excepting I think the left side after the AND should be dotted.

Something like this WHILE (ctxt(.fInteger1)) BETWEEN '0' AND (ctxt(.fInteger2)) THEN Will cause the while loop to work correctly but that leaves the problem text '2' is greater than text '10'. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Emmitt Dove Posted At: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:01 AM Posted To: RB7-L Conversation: [RBASE-L] - RE: Integer as a condition in a while loop Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Integer as a condition in a while loop Charlie, Have you tried: WHILE finteger1 > 0 AND finteger1 <= .finteger2 THEN ...

For example: "WHILE fInteger1 BETWEEN 0 AND .fInteger2 THEN" Even when fInteger1 becomes larger than fInteger2 my loop still fires. Is there a way to have it stop executing the loop at that point?
