hi i ran a reex program which is quite big..
on execution it gave me an error

line 52 :control stack full

line 52 had an if condition loop
like
do i=1 to 30 by 1
if(v.i=' ')/****line 52*****/
then ref_var=1
end

wot could be the problem ?

i use if loop many times in the prog along wit do loops.could that be a problem?

What exactly is your code doing, without seeing it we can only guess at why the problem occurs.

How much data do you have in your stem V.i

How much data are you trying to stack

1. Do you have any INTERPRET commands?
2. What is the level of nesting of loops/DOs?

hi all
i found that my rexx program was getting into an infinite loop when i give a particular input that was why the stack got full..For my info Is there any other instance where a control stack can get full???

When you pass the nesting limit (250).
