System Debug Command Speciﬁcations Fx-LOG

FOREACH

order to restrict/convert the values in the list to a speciﬁc desired type:

foreach j:S16 '1 2 3+4 5' {wl j }

If the type speciﬁcation is omitted, the type ANY is assumed.

value_list

This is a quoted string (or string variable) that contains a list of values

(expressions). The

cmdlist

is evaluated once for every expression in the

list. The list may contain string and or numeric expressions.

command cmdlist

A single command (or command list) that is executed for each value in

value_list

Examples

%cmdebug > foreach j '1 2 3 "MOM" date 12.330' wl j

MOM

WED. SEPT 3, 1986

$12.00000330

A local variable j is assigned each of the expression values in the value list string, and the

speciﬁed command references the current value of j in order to write its value.

$nmdebug > foreach j '6 -2 "a" + "b" 3 +4' {wl j}

"ab"

This example shows that full expression values are evaluated within the value list.

$nmdebug > var nums '"1" "2" "3"'

$nmdebug > var lets '"A" "B" "C"'

$nmdebug > foreach l lets { foreach n nums {wl l n }}

This is an example of nested FOREACH commands that use string variables for their value

lists.
