PCH database program loop?

Question

Hi there,
Have anybody seen before a GET OBJEC looping indefinetelly? We have a PCH program to handle some training management.
The EV PATH is L-D-E-E.
We always start the execution with an L object. If the L object is not on one of the highest levels, the program works and ends fine, but from a certain level up, the GET OBJEC start looping and the program never stops.
Once the last E object of the catalog has been reached, for some reason, the next GET OBJEC execution starts again from the original L object.
Any idea why?
The obviuos work around is to flag the first L object and exit the program when reached for the second time, but I was looking for an ellegant solution
Other question (hope stupid one): How can you exit a GET OBJECT loop and continue processing at the END-OF-SELECTION command?
Thanks in advance

I think slowly I understand your point.
You get the same ID more than once, correct?
If these objects are more than once in the evaluation period in the structure, this is correct.
E.g. the department Sales migh occur twice in an Org.structure if it  was reorganized during the year and you start from the BOard with evaluation period complete year. It will appear under Orgunit Europe and Global with different dates (only as an example)
That's also something you can check using RHSTRU00.
Normally this vanishes if you use a key date as evaluation pariod.
Maybe this clarifies it?
If you only want each object ID only once, collect them at GET OBJEC. and do all the rest of the processing in END-OF-SELECTION. after throwing away the duplicates.
