WHILE - VARY

Short Reference

Obsolete Syntax

WHILE ... VARY dobj FROM dobj1 NEXT dobj2 [RANGE range]
         [VARY ...].
  [statement_block]
ENDWHILE.

Effect

The addition VARY and its addition RANGE have exactly the same effect on a WHILE loop as the other obsolete additions VARYING and RANGE of the statement DO. The addition VARY can be used more than once in a WHILE statement.

Note

Instead of the addition VARY, the statement ASSIGN should be used in the loop with the addition INCREMENT.
