R (repeat) Command

The R (repeat) Line Command is used to repeat a line or block of lines directly after the last line to be repeated. The syntax for the R (repeat) Command is:

R number-of-times

where:

number-of-times—specifies the number of times a line or block of lines is repeated.

R—specifies a single line to be repeated.

Rn—specifies a single line to be repeated n times.

RR—specifies the first and last lines of a block to be repeated one time.

Default: 1

The following are the rules that you can follow while using R (repeat) command:

• Pair each RR number-of-times with another RR number-of-times to complete a block command.
• If the number-of-times is specified on both RR block Commands, the greater number is used.
• No other line commands can be used on lines being repeated.
