Program section repetition
11.1 Program section repetition
Fundamentals

427
The area between a label and the following ENDLABEL is repeated P=n times. Any name
can be used to define the start label. If the block with the start label or ENDLABEL contains
further statements, these are executed on each repetition.
Note
If no ENDLABEL is found between the start label and the block with the REPEAT call, the
loop ends before the REPEAT line. The construct therefore has the same effect as described
above in "repeat area from label".
If P is not specified, the program section is repeated once.
After the last repetition, the program is continued at the line zzz following the REPEAT line.
Parameters
LABEL:
Jump destination; the name of the jump destination is followed by a
colon
REPEAT
Repeat (repeat several lines)
REPEATB
Repeat block (repeat one line only)
Example of repetition of positions
N10 POSITION1: X10 Y20
N20 POSITION2: CYCLE(0,,9,8)
;Position cycle
N30 ...
N40 REPEATB POSITION1 P=5
;Execute BLOCK N10 five times
N50 REPEATB POSITION2
;Execute block N20 once
N60 ...
N70 M30
Example 5 squares with increasing width are to be produced
N5 R10=15
N10 Begin: R10=R10+1
;Width
N20 Z=10-R10
N30 G1 X=R10 F200
N40 Y=R10
N50 X=-R10
N60 Y=-R10
N70 Z=10+R10
N80 REPEAT BEGIN P=4
;Execute area from N10 to N70 four times
N90 Z10
N100 M30
