Process

The WHILE command repeats a sequence of commands as long as a condition is

 

true.

 

 

 

If the condition is true, the script executes the commands listed between WHILE

 

and ENDWHILE. When script reaches ENDWHILE, it checks the condition again. If

 

the condition still exists, it executes the commands again. If the condition is false,

 

the script branches to the line after ENDWHILE.

 

Buffer-field1and buffer-field2are the compared items in the condition. They can

 

be one of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buffer-field

Number

Number prefixed by a

 

 

String

number sign (#)

 

 

ASCII string delimited

 

 

 

by double quotes.

 

 

 

Must be one

 

 

 

character long

 

 

 

 

 

Comparison is the operator used to compare buffer-field1and buffer-field2. It can be one of the following:

Comparison

Description

 

 

=

Equals

 

 

==

Equals

 

 

<>

Not equal

 

 

!=

Not equal

 

 

>

Greater than

 

 

>=

Greater than or equal

 

 

<

Less than

 

 

<=

Less than or equal

 

 

NOTE: Use the BREAK command to break out of a WHILE loop prematurely. For example, you could use it when an error occurs. Also, Do Not use WHILE inside a macro.
