Subject:      Workaround for Not Being Able to Nest DO REPEAT Loops
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I am looking for a workaround for not being able to nest DO REPEAT
loops.  Perhaps some kind of LOOP would solve this?  I'm not too handy
with LOOPs though.

 

I get errors from the following code and I figure there must be an
easier/more workable way of doing the following.  There are actually
many more brand than the five below I specify I need to combine.  They
correspond with ba through be.  The key line is how I have the 2nd DO
REPEAT loop grab overall variables from the 1st one where it says
/t_brand = ba bb bc bd be.  But it does not work.

 

Any and all ideas are great.  Thanks in advance.

DO REPEAT

 brand_m = c3 c8 c9 c11 c4a1 c4a2 c4a3 c4a4 c4a5 c4a6

 /ba = c3a c7a c8a c11aa c4a1a c4a2a c4a3a c4a4a c4a5a c4a6a

 /bb = c3b c7b c8b c11ab c4a1b c4a2b c4a3b c4a4b c4a5b c4a6b

 /bc = c3c c7c c8c c11ac c4a1c c4a2c c4a3c c4a4c c4a5c c4a6c

 /bd = c3d c7d c8d c11ad c4a1d c4a2d c4a3d c4a4d c4a5d c4a6d

 /be = c3e c7e c8e c11ae c4a1e c4a2e c4a3e c4a4e c4a5e c4a6e.

DO REPEAT brand = 1 2 3 4 5

 /t_brand = ba bb bc bd be.

IF (stack_co = brand) brand_m = t_brand.

END REPEAT.

END REPEAT.

EXECUTE.
