When does it run indefinitely? I'm pretty sure if you entered 4 as the input, it would immediately end.

Can you reproduce the error? If so, what was the last thing you did/entered?

My assumption is that you've entered incorrect data at specific prompts.

Possible errors:
char street, city,state; These can only take one character.

int addNum, zip,telNum,dateLp; These can only be whole numbers of max integer size; no '-' for telephone number, or '/' for date.
