<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Last week I asked about capturing the iterations per phase. All appeared to be working until I thought I had workable limits for all the phases. According to my count registers every phase is completing within their iteration limits. Yet I still get the 'Maximum number of iterations exceeded…' message. Am I missing something or have I hit a hard limit? I notice that the phase 2 count ends with a '2', which was always the case for any phase count that tripped a limit (see Earlier example at bottom).</FONT></P>
