-TYPE CTR=&CTR
-TYPE cntry=&cntry

-IF '&cntry' EQ '&CTR' GOTO STEP02;

-TYPE Inside step01;
-SET &cntry=&CTR
-GOTO STEP03

-STEP02
-TYPE Inside step02;
-GOTO STEP03

-STEP03
-TYPE Inside step03;

-L_LOOP1
END

Why is is not going to step02 eventhough the values for cntry & CTR are showing as the same?

Take the Tick Marks off cntry and CTR

-IF '&cntry' EQ '&CTR' GOTO STEP02;

That should help

put at the top
-SET &ECHO = ALL ;
and then you can see the whole thing.
might be that your default value is , say,
'FRANCE'
and your value read from the file is
'FRANCE '
so you might want to check length.
-TYPE &cntry.LENGTH
-TYPE &CTR.LENGTH
just a thought.

Hi new2focus,

In your code I change one think and it's working.
In if condition i take variables &cntry and &CTR without single quotes and it's working.. your modified code is here...

-DEFAULT &cntry='';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR
ON TABLE SAVE AS CARHLD
END
-RUN
-SET &NBR = &LINES;
-REPEAT L_LOOP1 &NBR TIMES
-READ CARHLD NOCLOSE &CTR.10. &CAR.16.


-TYPE CTR=&CTR
-TYPE cntry=&cntry

-IF &cntry EQ &CTR THEN GOTO STEP02;

-TYPE Inside step01;
-SET &cntry=&CTR
-GOTO STEP03

-STEP02
-TYPE Inside step02;
-GOTO STEP03

-STEP03
-TYPE Inside step03;

-L_LOOP1
END
