When I have two loops I get an error (FOC1851) duplicate dash repeat label error. Does this mean I can't have two loops or am I doing something wrong?

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS CARHOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END

-SET &CARLINES = &LINES;
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAROLAP
SUM 
     CAROLAP.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS CAROLAPHOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END

-SET &CAROLAPLINES = &LINES;
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<BODY>

-REPEAT HENDNUM FOR &MYDATA FROM 1 TO &CARLINES
-READFILE CARHOLD
!IBI.AMP.CAR;<BR/>
-HENDNUM
-ENDLOOP

-REPEAT HENDNUM FOR &MYDATA2 FROM 1 TO &CAROLAPLINES
-READFILE CAROLAPHOLD
!IBI.AMP.COUNTRY;<BR/>
-HENDNUM
-ENDLOOP

</BODY>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END


Results:

<HTML>

<!--
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=       10  LINES=     10
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=        5  LINES=      1
(FOC1851) DUPLICATE DASH REPEAT LABEL

-->


EDIT: When I use -? & I see the following results, so I know the data is coming back correctly..

&CARLINES     =       10
&CAROLAPLINES =        1

Hi Gavin,
You can have multiple loop but not with the same tag's ID as you do

HENDNUM and ENDLOOP exist twice !!!

You still have twice the ENDLOOP tag which can cause issue on execution if you refer it somewhere...

When I search help for ENDLOOP I don't get anything.. When I look up REPEAT and doesn't mention the use of ENDLOOP, so is that really required at all?

No, it's just a tag that you may refer to if you would like, per example, bypass the loop based on a condition. It can be omit if not useful.
