Questions on LOOPS
Is pin0 pulled high with a resistor? If not, the pin can assume high
or low states or vary from moment to moment. This could cause your
Stamp to see a low (0) even when the switch is open.
Also, consider the following changes to your code:
WAIT:
IF PIN0 = 1 THEN WAIT
sleep 5
serout 4,n300,("atdt1234567;",13)
sleep 12
serout 4,n300,("atdtb2",13)
sleep 12
serout 4,n300,("ath",13)
sleep 2
TEST:
if pin0=1 THEN WAIT
goto test
Lastly, your second serout instruction sends the literal text "b2"
as opposed to the value held in the variable b2. Is that really your
intent? Maybe ("atdt",#b2,13) would work better.

enters a number (b2). This indicates that switch1 is open. This works fine
but I do not want the stamp to continue to call the pager while switch1 is
open. You will see in the program the code/loop TEST where the program
should go and wait until switch1 is closed again, but this does not work.
Any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Again, this program works except when switch1 is open it continues to call
the pager. I want it to "sit" in test until the switch is closed and the
program resets it self.
WAIT:
if pin0=0 then CALL_PAGER
goto wait

it probably crashes when it hits the "goto loop" command.. (unless LOOP: is
defined elsewhere in your program!)
you should change that line to "goto wait"
also, your last line can be reduced to "goto wait" since there are only two
options for pin0, the last line will ONLY be executed if pin0=1.

'if pin0=0 then test 'should go to test in any condition
'goto loop 'what loop?
goto test 'not necessary if the next line is the bellow test:
TEST:
if pin0=0 then test 'will only stay here if pin0=0
if pin0=1 then wait 'instruction here may be goto wait since this line
'will be executed only if the above conditionis not true.
