When I think of While loops, I automatically think of cursors. So I can easily see an instance of a program that has a cursor, and the related while loop. And maybe within that code you have a "run" command, and maybe that program has its own cursor or its own totally different while loop. I can't answer if I personally have any of that, but it certainly doesn't seem out of the question for someone to do. So therefore my (and the other guy's) question of whether the buffer would attempt to load ALL while loops. My guess is that it would, and that would certainly mean you should never have >1 while loop open at any time!

Karen, Personally, I have never seen such code, nor have encountered such programming in my entire R:BASE life. I have designed and implemented very complex R:BASE applications and none of them include a RUN command in a WHILE loop nor a nested RUN command in another WHILE loop. Remember, there are more eloquent techniques to accomplish any task (simple or complex) in R:BASE. Very Best R:egards, Razzak. www.rbase.com www.facebook.com/rbase
