Randy,
Try moving the FETCH to just before the ENDWHILE, then put the SET VAR and SELECT … FROM just after the WHILE. That also lets you remove the SET VAR and SELECT before the WHILE. What’s happening is that your SELECT .. FROM pdperson is succeeding, setting SQLCODE to 0. Emmitt Dove Manager, Converting Applications Development Evergreen Packaging, Inc.

It is so enthusiastic that it continues to print after the end of data is reached. Unfortunately it duplicates the final report and seems to be in an endless loop which requires an inelegant exit from the program. When I traced the operation I can confirm that the value for SQLCODE changes so that it is no longer 100. That should interrupt the: WHILE SQLCODE <> 100 THEN Thinking that I might not have been talking loud enough, I reminded the program again that 100 was reached with the following command, which was also ignored: IF SQLCODE = 100 THEN GOTO lfinish ENDIF ENDWHILE LABEL lfinish and so forth. Sometimes I figure out what is not working while I attempt to document it for someone else. Not this time... Can you suggest how I can help the operation to stop when it is complete.
