Looping integer

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:09:20 GMT

In vb.net there is this codes or something like this which I forgotten already:

Dim a as integer

a = 0

loop

a+1

end loop

clear a

Is it possible to do like this code in ABAP way? If there is, please show me the codes.

Hi,

There is no LOOP ... Endloop with out condition.

There is DO...ENDDO without providing condition.

DATA: A type i.

a = 0.

DO.

a = a + 1.

If a > 10.

exit. "(exit will exit from the loop).

endif.

ENDDO.

yes you do have such a code in ABAP also...i dont know what exactly would be ur condition but you can write something like:

DATA: count TYPE i,

limit TYPE i VALUE 10.

DO.

count = count + 1.

IF count GE limit.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

cheers

Hi JuzMe

The same code is not worked in ABAP.

There is another way by using

do.... endo, loop at ITAB.....endloop.

data: count type i.

count = 20.

count = count + 1.

if <condition>

exit.

endif.

enddo.

In your requirement it goes infinite loop.

We have to incorporate condition within the loop to prevent infinite looping by using EXIT statement.

Reward me if useful.
