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:
•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.
