- Thanks for your suggestions. I checked the mainmenu.prg and found the
- problem was caused by the DO WHILE statement.
-
- The original statement went like this:
-
- ok=.t.
- do while ok
- ....
- 1. enter...
- 2. retrieve...
- ....
- 0. exit
- enddo
-
- I have changed it into something like this:
-
- ok=' '
- do while ok # '0'
- ....
- enddo
-
- The problem no longer appears. But I still would like to know where
- (in what CLIPPER 5.01 booklet and on which page) the error message is
- documented.
-
- Thank you for your time.

- p.s. Here is the error message again:
-
- Error BASE/1066 Argument error: conditional
- Quit?
-
- ---------------------------Included Text--------------------------
-
-
- PS- I have Clipper 5.01 and this error message IS documented. As a
- general rule if the error message comes in a red box with option
- to QUIT etc. that will be documented
