Loop
Loop action tasks are used to repeat those tasks that are located after it on a given process branch. The
number of repeats can be fixed or variable, as required.
Properties
General tab
l
Number of iterations: The number of times the loop should be repeated. Every task after the Loop
action task will be repeated this number of times. The number may be static, or use a variables (See
Variable Properties).
l Store current iteration in Job Info #: The Job Info in which the loop's iteration should be stored. Useful
for sequential file names or conditions based on the iteration. The value of this Variable Properties box
should be a digit between 1 and 9.
l Use value of Variable/JobInfo # expression:If the contents of the previous option is a variable, it's
content (which is assumed to be a number between 1 and 9) will be used to determine which job info
number to use for the iteration number. For example if %{myvariable} is used and contains the value 9,
then Job Info 9 will store the value of the loop's iteration.
l
Use original Data Stream every time: Select to reuse the original job file received by the Loop action
task at every iteration. If this option is not selected and if the process ends with Printer Queue Output
task, for example, the second time the Loop action task will be performed, it will use the PostScript file
generated by the output task.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on " Task Properties Dialog" on page 587.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
