the first time through the loop, your input to SUPRTOOL gets "read",
and then *IT'S GONE*.

That means that the second time through the loop, there's no input "cards"
available to SUPRTOOL, so it's first read gets the "!CONTINUE" after the
"!ENDWHILE", and then gets the "!EOJ".

Solution: put your SUPRTOOL commands in an flat unnumbered ASCII file
and do:

   RUN SUPRTOOL.PUB.ROBELLE < MYSTUFF
