Thank you Razzak & Karen – it’s always so easy to overlook to obvious in the search for a half-remembered problem.
Now to look for the reason why the messages settings got changed because I specifically set them every time R:Base is started. Regards, Alastair. From: A.

(You can all shout "yes" so I >can hear you!) Alastair, Technically, "End-of-data encountered" message is produced by the FETCH statement when the end of the cursor has been reached. If you can post the exact code, or a sample using RRBYW17/RRBYW18, I can provide you with a solution and/or technique without suppressing the MESSAGES and ERROR MESSAGES. Very Best R:egards, Razzak. www.rbase.com www.facebook.com/rbase
