<h1 class="topictitle1">DOFOR command</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The DOFOR command lets you process a group of commands a specified
|
|
number of times.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The <span class="cmdname">Do For (DOFOR)</span> command specifies a variable,
|
|
its initial value, an increment or decrement amount, and a terminal value
|
|
condition. The format of the <span class="cmdname">Do For (DOFOR)</span> command is:</p>
|
|
<pre>DOFOR VAR(integer-variable) FROM(initial-value) TO(end-value) BY(integer-constant)</pre>
|
|
<p>When processing of a DOFOR group is begun, the integer-variable
|
|
specified on the VAR parameter is initialized to the initial-value specified
|
|
on the FROM parameter. The value of the integer-variable is compared to the
|
|
end-value as specified on the TO parameter. When the integer-constant on
|
|
the BY parameter is positive, the comparison checks for integer-variable greater
|
|
than the end-value. If the integer-constant on the BY parameter is negative,
|
|
the comparison checks for integer-variable less than the end-value.</p>
|
|
<p>If
|
|
the condition is not true, the body of the DOFOR group is processed. When
|
|
the ENDDO is reached, the integer-constant from the BY parameter is added
|
|
to the integer-value and the condition is evaluated again.</p>
|
|
<p>The following
|
|
is an example of conditional processing with a <span class="cmdname">Do For (DOFOR)</span> command.</p>
|
|
<pre>CHGVAR &INT2 0
|
|
DOFOR VAR(&INT) FROM(2) TO(4) BY(1)
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
CHGVAR &INT2 (&INT2 + &INT)
|
|
ENDDO
|
|
/* &INT2 = 9 after running the DOFOR group 3 times */
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>When the DOFOR group is processed, &INT is initialized
|
|
to 2 and the value of &INT is checked to see if it is greater than 4.
|
|
It is not, so the body of the group is processed. On the second iteration
|
|
of the group, one is added to &INT and the check is repeated. It is less
|
|
than 4, so the DOFOR group is processed again. On reaching the ENDDO the
|
|
second time, the value of &INT is again incremented by 1. &INT now
|
|
has a value of 4. Since &INT is still less than or equal to 4, the DOFOR
|
|
group is processed again. On reaching the ENDDO the third time, the value
|
|
of &INT is again incremented by 1. This time, the value is 5, and processing
|
|
continues with the command following the ENDDO.</p>
|
|
<p>The LEAVE command may
|
|
be used to exit the DOFOR group and resume processing following the ENDDO.
|
|
The ITERATE command may be used to skip the remaining commands in the group,
|
|
increment the controlling variable, and evaluate the end-value condition immediately.</p>
