Hello

Below is a code I am working on and this is a base for a different project of mine.
I got it to work but only 1 value (ENGLAND) is being repeated in all 5 sets of data.
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
	DST.COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS C2
END
-RUN
-SET &LOOPCNT = &LINES;
-READ C2 &COUNTRY.A10.
-RUN


Thanks

Just like the manual states, use NOCLOSE to continue reading a file...

-READ C1 NOCLOSE

Or convert to -READFILE, which leaves the file open across -RUNs

Or remove the -RUN after the -READ

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DST.COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS C2
END
-RUN
-SET &LOOPCNT = &LINES;
-SET &I = 1;
-NXTREAD
-READ C2 &COUNTRY.&I.A10.
-*-RUN
-TYPE &COUNTRY.&I
-SET &I = &I + 1;
-IF &I LT &LOOPCNT THEN GOTO NXTREAD;


And have a loop...

I guess this is a code snippet, as I do't see any loop.

You can also use -REPEAT for the loop.

e.g.
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DST.COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS C2
END
-RUN
-SET &LOOPCNT = &LINES;
-REPEAT NXTREAD FOR &I FROM 1 TO &LOOPCNT ;
-READ C2 &COUNTRY.&I.A10.
-TYPE &COUNTRY.&I
-NXTREAD

Pity the lost knowledge of an old programmer!
