Hey all,

I need this loop to execute as many times as necessary until my user input = 65. for both variables #500 and #501. It seems to exit if either of them equal 65. Can anyone shed any light on my mistake(s)? Thanks in advance for any help.

#500= 0. 
#501= 0. 

WHILE [ [ #500 NE 65. ] AND [ #501 NE 65. ] ] DO1

hy the problem in that aproach is that condition definition is not direct, but indirect

for example, "if true" and "if not false" are similar, but may be tricky to implement

i will write the code for an okuma machine, then try to adapt it

NHERE
// code, do something
V3=0

IF [ V1 NE 65 ] NJUMP1
V3=V3+1 ( increment v3 only if v1=65 )
NJUMP1

IF [ V2 NE 65 ] NJUMP2
V3=V3+1 ( increment v3 only if v2=65 )
NJUMP2

IF [ V3 NE 2 ] NHERE

it is a bit long, but uses simply if syntaxes, so should be easy to adapt;
next aproach will be a bit dense, since it will join those conditions, thus less code lines
can't provide code for "while", is not available on the controlers around here

NHERE
// code, do something
IF [ [ [ V1 EQ 65 ] AND [ V2 EQ 65 ] ] EQ 0 ] NHERE
