The behavior reported by Kabs can be replicated via

***
 set obs 10
local i = 1

while `i' < 3 {
inp myvar`i'
5
4
3
end
}
***

Kabs, why do you want to put -input- into a -while- loop which is subject to this very special hazard? Describe what you want to do and I am sure we can circumvent the problem w/o making Stata discriminate between the two -end-s-...

I have an input data command inside a while loop, but when I invoke
'end' to signal the completion of entering data the while loops ends.
Are there any workarounds?

Thank-you.
