Program unexpected pause
« on: March 24, 2021, 01:59:38 am »
I have a simple command line program in which I enter 10 variables using writeln prompts and readln instructions to enter the data. The program pauses after the last readln and will not continue unless I hit the enter key 10 times. The program compiles and runs perfectly except for this annoying occurance.  This was a turbo pascal program and it worked perfectly using writeln and readln. What is there about these commands that i am not understanding?

Please provide us the source code.

File attached. The program stops at line 121 which is the last readln instruction. You can keep hitting the enter key and it will eventually run and finish.

You have an extra ReadLn in line #47. Disable or remove it.

This is your orginal source code:
