If you type in employee ID, and then a character (other than s, h or c) including the enter key. You get a message that says, "Do you want to try again or quit?" "Type q or Q to quit any other key to continue." If you hit any other key than q or Q, nothing happens.
I am trying to get the program to go to the else part of the function when another key than q or Q is hit, including the enter key. But I am out of ideas.
I hope someone out there can help. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you!
