Re: Multiple Conditions on a DOW loop

Booth,

My reading of your logic seems that your loop will always be processed.
When your myVariable contains "A" then the myVariable <> '' is true and
your loop is processed. When your myVariable contains ' ' then it is not
equal to "A" and would be processed.

Should it read

dow myVariable <>'' OR myVariable <> 'A'

Ok Group. I have run into an interesting problem...

I have this loop structure...

dow myVariable <> '' and myVariable <> 'A';
// I do some stuff
// At some point myVariable could be set to '' or A or another value
// at which point we want to run the loop again.

enddo;

But when myVariable = 'A' the loop runs anyway.

Can we not put multiple conditions on a DOW loop? Is my brain not reading
my logic correctly today?
