I have 2 multiselect drop downs in the html form. It works when only variables are selected for one option but when variables are selected for both, the report never finishes running.

-IF &INDCD.EXISTS NE 1 THEN GOTO ENDLOOP;
WHERE SRVC_SERVICE_IND_CD EQ '&INDCD'
-IF &INDCD0.EXISTS THEN GOTO NEXT_STEP ELSE GOTO ENDLOOP;
-NEXT_STEP
-REPEAT ENDLOOP FOR &COUNTERA FROM 2 TO &INDCD0;
OR '&INDCD.&COUNTERA'
-ENDLOOP
-IF &DEPT.EXISTS NE 1 THEN GOTO ENDLOOP;
WHERE SRVC_DEPARTMENT EQ '&DEPT'
-IF &DEPT0.EXISTS THEN GOTO NEXT_STEP ELSE GOTO ENDLOOP;
-NEXT_STEP
-REPEAT ENDLOOP FOR &COUNTERB FROM 2 TO &DEPT0;
OR '&DEPT.&COUNTERB'
-ENDLOOP

Thanks for your help.

Bethany, You have the -ENDLOOP label in two places in your code. Change one of the ENDLOOP labels to a different word and this will prevent the infinite loop you are getting into.

Thanks for your help. Now it works for a multiselect for one variable along with a single selection for the 2nd variable, but trying to use multiple selections for both variables still won't finish running. Any ideas?

did you chg all references to ENDLOOP in the 2nd repeat loop, along with the -ENDLOOP label, to (say) ENDLOOP2?

Sorry about that. I meant what Jack said as well but didn't word it correctly in my post. Sorry for the confusion.

You also have the label next_step used twice. One of them should be given a different name and with all references to it as well - just like the endloop. Just in case you run into trouble with that....
