I've got my "Loop" working, but I would like to drop in a "Timeout".
In the below code, sometimes it skips over the "ITEM NO:" field and goes
straight to the "PAT CHARGE:" Loop function and then just loops until
it's blue in the face (which doesn't hurt our on-screen data, but is
annoying since I have to pause the script, take the script back to the
"Pause "ITEM NO:" command and then hit play to get it going again).
I there a way to put a "Timeout" function on a "Loop" if it's going
nowhere, and if so, make it start back up to the first line of the below
code ("ITEM NO:")?
Pause "ITEM NO: "
Do Until At("UOM: ")
Pause "ITEM NO:"
Key strITEM
Enter
Stable 0.5
Loop
Pause "UOM: "
Enter
Stable 0.2
If At("NOT A VALID UNIT OF MEASURE PRESS F4
KEY") Then
Pause "NOT A VALID UNIT OF MEASURE PRESS F4
KEY"
Key "@4"
Pause "UOM:"
Key "EA"
Enter
End If
Do Until At("PAT CHARGE: ")
Enter
Stable 0.2
Loop
Pause "PAT CHARGE: "
Many, many thanks for any feedback you might have.

Subject: RE: [Talk] Enter Loop?
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.
