    Hell Leonel,

    Ok! Just wanted to make sure!...

    I also noticed you changed my "If" statements to "while" statements.
    Since I do not have a testing ground here, I do not know what will happen, if the program "Jumps" out of the middle of a while statement too many times.
    I have had no problems jumping out of a "If" statement... but I am not sure about a while statement. So, I did not use while statements, for fear of crashing <g>.

    Ralph, Steve, Melanie, Darrel, Bruce... Whats the answer???

    Code:
    Loop
a=1

  while a <100 
    .....
    if a==50 goto Loop
    ...
    a=a+1
  wend
....
goto Loop.
    If a hits 50 a bunch of times, will this give PBP a problem and lose its stack? or run haywire? I know in some older versions of C/C++, it could cause a problem with memory...but I am not sure in PBP.

    personnaly if i want to jump out of a while statement i would prefer to validate the WHILE condition and set a JUMP or FLAG bit to do XYZ task...

    well code will talk by itself...

    Code:
    Start:
     While AVar!=50
          if AVar==20 then 
               AVar=50
               FlagBit=1
               endif
          Wend
     IF FlagBit=1 then Start
    BUT i would also prefer another approach... like two WHILE statement one after the other... case by case i guess.

    I don't belive that the Stack will be a problem since it's not a GOSUB...

    Hello Steve,

    Steve>>i would prefer to validate the WHILE condition and set a JUMP or FLAG bit to do XYZ task...<<

    Great minds think alike <grin>... (Hope you don't take that as a insult)

    I am like you... I like to force the while to do its job...

    Thanks Bud!... I hope things are well in Canada...
