Can You SELECT File TO 1 To assign the selection to a list number, as the default list number is 0 it would cut down on the chances of the list being used by something else? Just make sure at the end you PERFORM "DELETE.LIST 1" so it's not hanging around.

In the example of code you have, the loop will exit if your key (variable ID) is equal to an empty string or a string that can be evaluated to zero for example values like these: 0E1,0E10, 0E100 (on Universe) "" (empty string) 0000 Will make the loop end: > SELECT FILENAME > LOOP > READNEXT ID ELSE EXIT > WHILE ID DO > CODE > CODE with GOSUB > CODE > CODE > REPEAT Try: SELECT FILENAME LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID CODE...

The id was combination of 13 letters and numbers. The strange part was where the while/do seemed to kick in. The item was read from the file without a problem 3-4 lines of code execute as expected it then executed a gosub, but when it returned, it dropped out of the loop the id variable was never modified.
