[SOLVED] HTML Compound Report going to Infinite Loop.

Hi,

I am trying to generate a compound HTML report where the count of number of reports is dynamic.
Following is the sample code snippet.

-REPEAT LOOP_HTML FOR &CT FROM 1 TO &LOOP_CNT
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
WHERE CTR EQ &CT
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE AS REPORT&CT
END
-RUN
-LOOP_HTML
-SET &J=0;
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
-GENERATE
-SET &J=&J+1;
!IBI.FIL.REPORT&J;
-IF &J LT &LOOP_CNT THEN GOTO GENERATE;
-HTMLFORM END

The problem is that above code is running in an infinite loop and I am not able to figure out where the problem is.

Please help

-Regards
Swapnil

Hi,

Maybe you should put the non-HTML code outside the HTMLFORM BEGIN and END.

ie. -SET &J=&J+1;
-IF &J LT &LOOP_CNT THEN GOTO GENERATE;

Best Regards,

Jimmy Pang

I solved it...

There was a GOTO statement which is a starting condition to select the format. The program was again and again repeating the same thing. i.e. it was again calling the code for HTML.

Thanks anyways for your help.
