End without with using excel and IBM 3270 terminal - excel

Question

I am working on a macro to pull data of receipts and I need to only find the qty for today's receipts. Using the IBM terminal I bring up an excel worksheet and then proceed to make IBM go to screen I need and then look at the date on the screen and match it to the receipt date. if today's date doesn't match the receipt date on the first page then I need to have the macro press enter and then search the second page for the matching date and so on till the dates match or if they never do stop once the receipt date is blank. My code is below. Not sure where the open function is to not let the code finish. I am a novice and have no idea of formatting code, I apologize in advance.
Thanks for any help you provide.

There are quite some issues in your code, let's have a look:
Plenty of this:
excel.Range("A1").Select
excel.activecell.FormulaR1C1 = "PARTNO"
You can replace this by (far more readable):
excel.Range("A1").FormulaR1C1 = "PARTNO"
First:
i = 2
ACELL = "A2"
And later:
i = i + 1
c = Trim$(Str$(i))
ACELL = "A" + c
You can use this at the beginning too, so replace the first one by:
i = 2
c = Trim$(Str$(i))
ACELL = "A" + c
For-loop is not ended:
For n = 9 To 22
...
(Where's the Next, or the Step?)
Possible endless loop:
Do Until RIP.Date = " "
Loop
(Two things: this is a possible endless loop, and second, what's with the list of spaces? You'd better say "... until Trim$(RIP.Date) = """)
Also the large loop is not ended:
Do Until partnumber = " "
(same comment as above)
Please correct your code further (as your code does not even compile, it's almost impossible to help you further).
In top of this I see that you are mixing small letters and capitals. In Excel this is not a problem but other programming languages might have a problem with that. Please get a good habit of using the same "capitalising" system for all your variables.
