empty records?

[Robert Haussmann]

Yes, I use "start" as the label.  This code as actually written like 2 decades(!) ago, so I'm having a little difficulty remembering.  But it looks like the general flow is:

@wef1 label ensures we are on the right screen #, if so go to the "login" label, if not end:
12  -------   -   -   -   -
@wef1  ◄ If: @sn eq "9"
       Then: goto login
 13  -------   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: end
 14  -------   -   -   -   -

"login" is where we input username/password and check that they are valid.

The actual processing itself (after some comments and variable declarations) is here (the "Start" label):

start  ◄ If: 1 eq ""
       Then:  exit                      'do not save blank records
 11  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
