Hello,
Thank you for your response. I went back and updated encoding to utf-8 and
ASCII but I still experienced issues with the output.
The part that is interesting is that the output for each of the following
fields is the (should be) the same 1.Search by City
2.Search by Region (State Abbreviation)
3.Search by Zip
Search by zip comes out just fine but only the partial output is shared for the
first two options. I don't understand why that would be? I would think if its
the same output for all three options that I would either work for all three or
not work for any. Also, why the partial results.
Any suggestions on how to normalize this?
Thank you.

Because you now process the results in the if clauses you no
longer need the breaks. In fact if you want the menu to be
repeated you need to take them all out except for the last one.

Looks like you are using cpl252 and your data is coming back as
something else (UTF-8 maybe?) so you probably need to specify
the encoding.
