Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what is the error code if an infinite loop occur in a program ?

I am writing program using Programming Language as Natual and database as Adabas.

If your program is in an infinite loop it has not errored, except in logic. Therefore there is no error code. You could get an Sx22, where x is one of several digits, which is caused by the job being cancelled by some means, which determines x.

Hello,

Does this ever work correctly or does certain data cause the neverending loop?

Suggest you implement a counter to terminate any loop after a "reasonable maximum" times thru the loop.

You will probably need to add a bit of diagnostic code to determine why the code never comes out of the loop.
