FOR Command

FOR — Execute a block of logic commands a specified number of times.

Synopsis

FOR counter = begin_value TO end_value src_data_ref [STEP increment]

Introduction

The FOR command executes a block of logic commands a specified number of times, or until a BREAK command is reached. The CONTINUE command can also be used to stop processing the current iteration and to jump to the beginning of the loop.

Arguments

`counter`	Data reference of a numeric type which servers as a loop counter.
`begin_value`	Argument containing the initial start value.
`end_value`	Argument containing the end value. When this number is reached, the loop structure will be terminated.
`increment`	The value of this argument will be added to the counter after every loop iteration. When STEP is not defined, the default of 1 will be used.
