"Loop Without Do"?

[mattster]

'Lo there... When running my ASP page, which should be working, I get this error:
===========================================================

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a040e'

'loop' without 'do'

/forum/test3.asp, line 112

Loop
^
==========================================================

And I DO have a DO statement. I don't understand why it is giving me this error

your code should look like

do
'your code here
loop while a < b

if it looks like that, then try posting your code. there's a chance that the error isn't coming from the loop

hope this helps

actually, my code doesn't look like that

it's kind of like

do while a <b
'code here
loop

 

[vasah20]

try flipping it around, it works for me.

 

[mattster]

tried it, and I get the same thing...

 

[vasah20]

post your code, there's a good chance that the error isn't coming from the loop statement...

Double check to make sure that you have closed all For/Next loops and If and or select statments.. If you forgot (or missed) a close and enter the loop you will get this error also.

well, i have a loop inside a loop... is that a &quot;no-no&quot;?

Loops nested inside other loops is fine. I'd do like PogoWolf suggested and make sure that you haven't forgotten an &quot;End If&quot; somewhere (or have one too many).

How pretty is your code? Do you have good indention going on? That's usually helpful in resolving these kinds of things. Another is getting into the habit of writing &quot;Sandwich&quot; code. As soon as you start a loop or conditional, close it with the appropiate statement before you start filling it in with your logic code. So if you do a for..next, write the For, and immediately write the Next, so you don't forget.

my indentations are fairly decent, I can understand it... But as far as I can see, all of my &quot;End If&quot;'s are there... I can post the code, but do you just want the section I'm having problems with, or the whole file? (It's about 130 lines)

 

[PogoWolf]

I would go ahead and post the whole thing. The Issue that you are having might not ben in just the do..loop section. =) ---===///The PogoWolf\\\===---
