I made this program on pascal , the problem is that in the procedure "llenarLista" it keeps repeating even if I put the A.DNI in 33555444

program Casting;

type Gen = 1..5;

Aspirantes = Record DNI:Integer;

Nom:Char;

Ape:Char;

Edad:Integer;

Genero:Gen;

end;

Lista = ^nodo;

Nodo = Record Dato:Aspirantes;

Sig:Lista;

end;

procedure leerAspirantes (var A:Aspirantes);

begin writeLN ('Inserte DNI');

readLN (A.DNI);

WriteLN ('Inserte Nombre y Apellido');

readLN (A.Nom);

readLN (A.Ape);

WriteLN ('Inserte Edad');

readLN (A.Edad);

WriteLN ('Inserte genero de pelicula');

readLN (A.Genero);

end;

procedure agregarElemento (A:Aspirantes;

var L:    Lista);

var nuevo:Lista;

begin new (nuevo);

nuevo ^.dato:= A;

nuevo ^.sig:= nil;

if (L = nil)

then L:= nuevo

  else

begin nuevo ^.sig:= L;

L:= nuevo;

end;

end;

procedure llenarLista (var L:Lista);

var A:Aspirantes;

begin repeat leerAspirantes (A);

agregarElemento (A, L);

until (A.DNI = 33555444);

end;

var L:Lista;

begin L:= nil;

llenarLista (L);

end.

After some testing, it looks like the Integer type on Online GDB's Pascal is really just a SmallInt (16-bit signed integer). Hence, it cannot store such a large number as 33555444.

Instead of Integer (, which is probably just a name for another type, depending on compiler options), try to use LongInt (32-bit signed integer) specifically for your DNI and your problem should be solved.

Here is a reference for data types.
