Continue Equiv. in C Side

wolfulium

So I am wanting this:

Loop through list
{
    if TODAY-item.LastRunDate < 30 {
            continue;
    }
    
    // code that adds lastrundate to item

}

I know there is a CurrReport.SKIP, however I am trying to achieve this using a CodeUnit

Thanks

I figured the use of the work continue was self explanatory enough. I want to skip an item in a loop.

Like the key word continue does in most of the languages. But apparently this language does not have it.


So what I ended up doing was adding a global variable and used that.

REPEAT
   continue := false;

   IF (date <> 0D) THEN
      IF TODAY - date < 5 THEN
         continue := true;


   IF NOT continue THEN BEGIN
 
            // code i wanted to run if the date was older than 5 days

   END;

Hi,

What exactly do you want to achieve? Loop through the Item table and do what? And stop when?

Hi, as Slawek wrote, you have to provide more info - so just guess ...
A condition should do the same:

FOREACH dotnetElement IN dotnetElements DO BEGIN
  IF (TODAY - dotnetElement.LastRun) >= 30 THEN BEGIN
    // handling code ...
  END
  ELSE IF counter > 12345 THEN
    BREAK; // break the loop if too many elements
  // else do nothing => continue
END;

Hi,

1) REPEAT alway goes with UNTIL

REPEAT
UNTIL boolean

2) UNTIL takes a boolean variable or expression, and stops the loop when the variable or expression evaluates to TRUE;
3) you can use filters to limit the number of records you're looping through, instead of looping through all and running a code doing some manipulation in few cases.

Instead of having the following code inside the loop

IF (date <> 0D) THEN
      IF TODAY - date < 5 THEN
         continue := true;

you can build an equivalent loop with a filter. Assuming that you are looping through a record variable called Item, and the record has date field::

Item.SETFILTER(date, '<%1', TODAY - 5);
IF Item.FINDSET THEN
REPEAT
  //whatever is inside this loop it will be only executed
  //for Item records having the "date" field more than 5 days old 
UNTIL Item.Next = 0;
