I have a text box that the user enters a search string -- and then a combo box populates based on that variable - That works correctly -- My problem is that if there is no match I want to inform the user of that.

1. Best option - to have a message in the combo box that says record not found -
OR
2. Pop up an alert in the window that says not found

I tried to code along these lines:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
IF MODEL EQ &MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END

-RUN
-IF &RECORDS NE 0 GOTO GO-ON;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COMPUTE
MSG/A20 = 'NOT FOUND';
BY MODEL
IF MODEL EQ 'XX'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
-GO_ON

THE PROBLEM: The second table file does not ever seem to execute -- seems like there is a limit to the number of table files that can be executed --

This must be a basic thing so ... anyone with an answer I would be quite appreciative. Help!

One thing you should notice in your code is that your label is not the same as the goto so would not work.

Try this code -

SET HOLDLIST = PRINTONLY
-DEFAULTH &Country = 'ENGLAND'
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&Country'
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
-IF &RECORDS EQ 0 THEN GOTO :Not_Found;
PCHOLD FORMAT XML
-EXIT
-:Not_Found
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COMPUTE COUNTRY/A10 = 'NOT FOUND';
BY HIGHEST 1 COUNTRY NOPRINT
IF READLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
-RUN

Change ENGLAND to ENGLANDS to see the different output.

The different labels was a typo on my part -- but I am going to try the -exit approach -- will keep you posted. Thanks!

Update: That did work! Thank you so much Tony -

Since you are using PCHOLD in your first request, response will be sent to client browser immediately after this even if server continues to execute rest of the code.
