Loop

Repeats a set of script steps, to perform batch processes.

Options 

None.

Originated in version 

6.0 or earlier

Description 

Use Loop, for example, for exporting container field contents from all records in a found set. This script step and the End Loop script step mark the beginning and end of a repeating structure of script steps. The script 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 after 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 script editing pane automatically enters an End Loop step.

Example 1 

Copies the contents of the Customers::Work Phone to Customer::Day Contact in all records.

Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
    Set Field [Customers::Day Contact; Customers::Work Phone]
    Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last: On]
End Loop

Example 2 

Loops through records to export files that are in the Container field.

Set Variable [$PATH; Value: Get ( DocumentsPath ) & Products::Container]
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
    Export Field Contents [Products::Container; "$PATH" ; Create folders: Off]
    Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last: On]
End Loop
