while Statement

The while statement executes a particular section of code repeatedly until an expression evaluates to false.

Syntax

while (condition)
{
     statement_block;
}

Usage

The condition must be enclosed in parentheses. If expression is true, the Siebel eScript interpreter executes the statement_block following it. Then the interpreter tests the expression again. A while loop repeats until condition evaluates to false, and the program continues after the code associated with the while statement.

Example

The following fragment illustrates a while statement with two lines of code in a statement block:

while(ThereAreUncalledNamesOnTheList() != false)
{
   var name = GetNameFromTheList();
   SendEmail(name);
}
