SAP ABAP - Loop Control
There may be a situation when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more comppcated execution paths. A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and following is the general form of a loop statement in most of the programming languages.
ABAP programming language provides the following types of loop to handle looping requirements.
S.No. | Loop Type & Description |
---|---|
1 | Repeats a statement or group of statements when a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body. |
2 | The DO statement is useful for repeating particular task a specific number of times. |
3 | You may use one or more loops inside any another WHILE or DO loop. |
Loop Control Statements
Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. ABAP includes control statements that allow loops to be ended prematurely. It supports the following control statements.
S.No. | Control Statement & Description |
---|---|
1 | Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and starts the next loop pass. |
2 | If the condition is false, then the remaining statements after the CHECK are just ignored and the system starts the next loop pass. |
3 | Terminates the loop entirely and transfers execution to the statement immediately following the loop. |
