Flow Statements
IF | DO-LOOP | FOR-NEXT | SELECT
IF STATEMENT
Conditionally executes a group of statements, depending on the value of a boolean expression.
IF expression THEN Statement...
[ELSEIF expression THEN Statement...]
[ELSE Statement...]
END IF
FOR NEXT STATEMENT
Executes a series of statements a specified number of times.
FOR counter = start TO end [STEP step] Statement...
NEXT
FOR counter = start DOWNTO end Statement...
NEXT
Counter is an integer variable that will be incremented. Start can be any numeric expression or variable that returns an integer, this is the initial value. End is an integer variable or constant, this is the final value. Step is an integer variable or constant. When step is included counter will be incremented.
The statements will be executed each time until counter is greater than end or if DownTo is used until counter is less than end .
Another variation of the FOR...NEXT loop is the FOR...IN loop. The FOR...IN loop allows you to easily loop through the elements of an array or list. For more info see arrays.
DO...LOOP STATEMENT
Repeatedly executes a group of statements while the value of an expression is true.
DO UNTIL expression
Statement
LOOP
DO WHILE expression
Statement
LOOP
SELECT CASE STATEMENT
Conditionally executes one group of statements from several groups, depending on the value of an expression.
SELECT CASE expression
CASE value1[,value2]
Statement Group1
[CASE value3
Statement Group2
]
.
.
.
[DEFAULT
Statement Group
]
END SELECT
The expression must evaluate to a numeric or string value. The statement group inside the DEFAULT is executed if none of the previous CASE values match the expression.
