REPEAT

The REPEAT command repeats a work file line a specified number of times. To issue a REPEAT command, enter REPEAT in the command area, position the cursor at the line to be repeated, and press Enter. In the IDD Menu Facility, you can use the REPEAT command only on free-form screens such as the Comments (COMM) or Module Source (SRCE) screens.

Syntax

►►─── REPeat ─┬────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Parameters

REPeat

Repeats the specified line once.

repeat-count

Represents the number of times to repeat the line.

The maximum value for repeat-count is two less than the number of lines the terminal screen will accommodate. For example, on a 24-line terminal the maximum for repeat-count is 22. Entering an integer larger than the maximum value causes an error condition; reissue the command.

In the IDD Menu Facility, the maximum value for repeat-count is 18.
