ENDWHILE 

Terminates a WHILE block.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

     ENDWHILE

Parameters 

None

Operation Notes 

This command terminates a conditional block that begins with a WHILE
command.  The WHILE and ENDWHILE commands constitute a WHILE block.  The
WHILE command evaluates an expression, and so long as that expression
evaluates as true, the command(s) between WHILE and ENDWHILE are
executed.  If the expression evaluates as false, execution of the WHILE
block ceases and execution passes to the command following ENDWHILE.
Execution terminates if any command not protected by a preceding CONTINUE
causes an error.

Use 

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break terminates the WHILE command loop.

Example 

The following is an example of a simple WHILE block:

     WHILE logical_expression 
        .
        .
        .
     ENDWHILE
