Stopping a Repeat Until Loop

sabzam · 2011-02-09

Dear All,

I have got a repeat until loop and I need to stop a particular cycle and go to the next loop in certain conditions. The only method which I've found out so far is to use the begin...end within the repeat until but I'm looking for a cleaner way. Does anyone know of an alternative?

Regards,

Steve

It depends on what you need to achieve.
You can do something like

REPEAT

UNTIL ((NEXT = 0) OR (MyBoolean = FALSE))

But keep in mind that the last NEXT will be called before exiting and the pointer will move to the next record.

What exactly do you want to do?

Try this....

Rec.findset then 
   repeat
       if condition = true then
         Loopexit := true;
   until (Rec.Next=0) or (Loopexit = true);

The issue is that I do not want to go through the whole cycle. I can set as loopexit = true or something of the sort but I was looking for a function similar to break which would go to the next loop.

Put that section of code in its own function. Then you can place the EXIT where you want.

Ok thanks to everyone

Yes.

Alex_Chow · 2011-02-09

Or you can do this:

until (Rec.Next=0) or (condition);

If I understand you correctly, you are looking to break out of a particular cycle thru the Repeat..Until loop but continue the loop with the next value. Not break entirely out of the loop.

Rec.findset then 
   repeat
     LoopFunction;
   until (Rec.Next=0);

  Function LoopFunction

    // [place code here to process each loop cycle.  You can then exit this fucntion where desired and the Repeat..Until will continue with the next record.

Never mind... I see now. :oops:

Yes, and they all terminate the loop. But I don't think that is what he is trying to do. I think he is trying to abort a single run thru the loop (based on some condition) but continue with the next record.

But then I could be wrong... :-$

Hi,

do u want a code like breaking the whole loop or like skip the particular record in that loop?

Yashojit_Pandhare · 2011-02-10

You can use Exit, when a particular condition is met, for example

REPEAT
<SOME CODE HERE>
IF Condition THEN
EXIT;
<SOME CODE HERE>
UNTIL rec.NEXT=0;
