Shouldn't the PULL have brought the character as upper case?
Thanks.

I have seen this before and it was a case sensitive issue, also had to check 
lower case "y"

This is confusing me.
 
The response to the variable 'answer' is a Y.
 
Yet this portion of the code isn't working.  Shouldn't the logic just fall thru 
because the response was a Y.
 
IF SUBSTR(ANSWER,1,1) /= 'Y' | ANSWER /= 'YES' THEN   
   DO                                                 
     SAY ANSWER                                       
     SAY 'THE WRONG RESPONSE HAS BEEN ENTERED'        
     SAY                                              
     SAY 'PROCEDURE IS TERMINATING, PLEASE TRY AGAIN' 
     EXIT                                             
   END                                                
 
Thanks
