OTL Syntax

// While (do)
while (BooleanTerm) : WhileLoopName
{
   ...
}

//Do while
do
{
   ...
} while (BooleanTerm) : WhileLoopName

Description

The OTX (do) WhileLoop activity contains a sequence of activities that are executed repeatedly until the condition evaluates to false. The expression for the condition is either before (while) or calculated according to (do while) the loop and tested.

Please keep in mind that Do While at least once iterate loop!

The loop can be exited about the activities of break, return, or throw. The continue activity stops the current iteration and continues with the next iteration, without having to leave the loop.

Properties

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
IsPostTested	Boolean	Value	-	[0..1]	The condition is tested before the execution of the loop (while false) or afterwards (true, do-while)
Test	Boolean	Term	-	[1]	Continue the loop condition expression

OTL Examples

public procedure main()
{
   Integer Integer1;

   while (Integer1 < 10) : WhileLoop1
   {
      Integer1 = (Integer1 + 1);
   }

   do
   {
      Integer1 = (Integer1 + 1);
   } while (Integer1 < 10) : WhileLoop2
}
