While Loop

Vaishali (2)
Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I am new to cpp. I have tried to make a program for Customers details. Initially I had a problem with while loop. I made a trick of using GOTO and LABEL, that's why the program runs smoothly. But I don't know from where did this new problem arised I can only enter the data till "Customer's purchase details", I cannot enter further detail i.e. "Enter Balance:".Because the program keeps on looping. It was working all fine after adding goto statement. I had just added "Customer's purchase details" later to the program and these are the problems I am facing. Can anyone help me in this please?

your purchase_details is just a single character. Is that intended?

Please use code tags: [code]Your code[/code]

@coder777 Thank you it worked for me. I have now changed the PURCHASE_DETAILS to int and I enter integer as inputs.
