We have a program looping through all data files searching for something - sometimes it gets to a file containing several million records and we'd like to be able to tell it to skip that file and continue with the next file. We've tried the following approaches with said results: (1) OPT.OUT = KEYIN() ; if OPT.OUT = 1 then EXIT OPT.OUT = 0 the program sits waiting for input in every iteration, ie every record (2) INPUT OPT.OUT,-1 ; if OPT.OUT = 'S' then EXIT OPT.OUT = 0 CLEARDATA CLEARINPUT the program works perfectly until an 'S' is entered then skips every file after that... HOWEVER, if I press Ctrl-Break, enter DEBUG, enter C(ontinue), the program continues as normal until another 'S' is entered.. Obviously the machine still has something in the input buffer, despite the CLEARDATA, something that gets whacked when debug hits the scene... Any ideas? -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
