Subject: While loop with fixnum - not working

  I can't get the while loop to work. When I set ErrorCount.Class it
outputs Fixnum. Do you think that this is the reason that that the while
will not execute? Thanks in advance. Mom Mcolli00

  it ("Search for FieldId Tag containing error in XML file") do
  ErrFieldID= get_xml_attrib_value(ie, "Error","FieldID")

  ErrorCount = ErrFieldID.size    #this lets me know what size the array
is
  puts ErrorCount.class           #this shows that it is a Fixnum
  ErrorCount.to_int               #this does nothing
  puts "Total Claim Errors"
  puts ErrorCount                 #shows correct count!
  end

  #this while structure will not work

  While ErrorCount > 0
  ErrFieldID = get_xml_attrib_value(ie,"Error","FieldID")
  code to correct error
  End
