problems with char.

[confusedcamel]

The beginning of my code executes fine, but problems occur when I try to receive user input for paycode. When debugging it doesn't allow me to enter a value. Any help or advice on how to fix this code would be much appreciated.
(Sorry if my logic doesn't make any sense!)
