Description
This script step and the End Loop script step mark the beginning and end of a repeating structure of
script steps. The Manage Scripts feature performs the script steps that are enclosed within the loop
structure until it encounters one of the following:
• an Exit Loop If script step
• a Go to Record/Request/Page script step or Go to Portal Row script step when the Exit
Loop After First/Last option is selected
Every Loop step must have a corresponding End Loop step somewhere after the Loop step and at
the same indentation. Whenever you use a Loop script step, the Manage Scripts feature
automatically enters an End Loop step.
Examples
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Table1::Bonus; 2500.00]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next]
Exit Loop if [Get (RecordNumber) = 25]
End Loop
