while Statement
The while statement executes a particular section of code repeatedly until an expression evaluates to false.
Syntax
while (condition)
{
statement_block;
}
Placeholder Description condition The condition whose falsehood is used to determine when to stop executing the loop statement_block One or more statements to be executed while condition is trueReturns
Not applicable
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);
}
