A possible issue with this script is that the If At("@@ ERROR") will be
tested immediately after the Key "@7", probably skip it no matter what. I'd
suggest something more like
Key "@7"
Do
If At("** ERROR") Then
.stuff
End If
If At("other errors" Then
.stuff
End If
Wait 'keeps the loop from spinning up and using all resources.
Loop Until At("the usual condition with no errors")
This hangs around in the Loop until all errors are handled. Our Rules based
scripting handles this kind of situation in a much more straightforward
manner.

Subject: RE: [Talk] Enter Loop?
What about an "IF" loop?
When I enter on a field and then try to file the record with an F7, I
sometimes get an error because another field as an invalid code.
For example:
Do Until At("ACCOUNT:")
Enter
Stable 0.2
Loop
Pause "ACCOUNT:"
Enter strACCT
Key "@7"
When "@7" is keyed, I sometimes get the following error:
** ERROR 594 ** VENDOR ORDER TYPE IS NOT SET. PRESS F4 KEY_
Then I have to hit F4 and I end up in the "ORDER TYPE:" field and I have to
change it to a "N".
Then a question "IS THIS CORRECT?(Y/N):" pops up and I have to enter "Y".
Then it brings me to the "LOCATION:" field where I can then hit F7 and then
hit play button in the script window and continue the running the script
(until I hit another error just like the above).
Is there some IF, THEN, LOOP code that would help me in this situation?
Many thanks for any feedback!

Greetings,
The <best> way to do this is to have Rules for each time you hit an enter
key - so if it takes 5 enters to get to the prompt - you've got 5 rules to
get there. This is the most reliable over time since if something changes in
the application, or if something "weird" happens, the script will detect
this.
A cheater way is to use:
Do until At("ENTER:")
Enter
Stable
Loop
But as you can see, if something happens before it gets to the ENTER field,
this won't know about it!
Regards,
Thom

I'm using Boston to script updates in SMART via RUMBA (HLLAPI connection).
Is there a way to write a script that will "ENTER" OR "@E" until it reaches
the a certain field (e.g. "ENTER:" field)?
I thank you ahead of time for any feedback!
