Thank you very much: I'll get back to work.

You aren't actually providing a line number.  Try this..

repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in field "mm"
switch (line i of fld "mm" is empty)
    case true

    break
    case false

    break
end switch
end repeat

Though if you have a LOT of lines you'd be better off adjusting it to use
repeat for each and running a separate counter...

put 1 into tCounter
repeat for each line tLine in field "mm
      switch (tLine is empty)
            case true
                -- the line is empty, tcounter contains the number of the
line
            break
            case false
                 -- the line is NOT empty, tcounter contains the number of
the line
            break
end switch
add 1 to tCounter -- increment to keep tCounter in sync with the line number
end repeat

I have a list field where each line may contain a number or be empty.

I need a SWITCH statement that checks the state of each line . . .

This is throwing a "bluey":

switch line number of fld "MM" is empty

Where am I going wrong?

Richmond.
