Hi All,
I was wondering how people implemented nested Sript Loops in FMP7.
From my experience
1. You cannot nest or overlap Loops - they must be sequential standalone
blocks
2. If Then etc can be freely nested
3. I have needed nested Loops, but could only do it via clunky recursive
calls to the same script etc
How do others manage

Regards Ron H.

By nesting them.

That is incorrect.

Yep.

set counter1=10;
loop
counter1 -1
set counter2 = 5;
loop
counter2 -1
new record
exit loop if counter2=0
end loop
exit loop if counter1=0
end loop

generates 50 records, as exected.

Thankyou 42,
What you suggested is indeed correct and now seems so simple, yet for some
reason when I did it, it produced erroneous results. Thankyou for your
assistance
