Thanks for your input, but the interprter Im using was design by my professor for our programming logic and design class. It rides hand in hand with vb.net. Also here is the problem I was working on.

8. Draw the hierarchy chart and design the logic for a program
for the owner of Bits and Pieces Manufacturing Company,
who needs to calculate an employee’s projected salary
following a raise. Th e input is the name of the employee,
the employee’s current weekly salary, and the percentage
increase expressed as a decimal (for example, 0.04 for
a 4 percent raise). Design the program so that it runs
continuously for any number of employees using three
modules. Th e housekeeping module prompts the user for
the percent raise that will be applied to every employee,
and prompts for the fi rst employee’s name. Th e detail loop
executes continuously until the user enters “XXX” for the
employee’s name. Th e detail loop gets the employee’s weekly
salary, applies the raise, produces the result, and prompts
for the next employee name. Th e end-of-job module, which
executes after the user enters the sentinel value for the name,
displays a message that indicates the program is complete.

Its is pseudocode. I have custom pseudocode interpreter that my professor creataed.

Im not quite sure what you are asking but QUIT has an assignment of "XXX" and my condition is set, so it stops when XXXis entered for the "name" input.

Thanks folks, I'm new to this programming--I understand the logic,but the process--little shakey and does not help that it is the instuctor's first time time to teach.
