This information applies only to Product builder.

Note

Make sure that the control variable makes the condition FALSE; otherwise, the FOR node (and therefore the entire configuration) will continue to run without stopping.

Navigating the form

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.

Button

Button	Description
Test	Test the FOR loop code.

Fields

Field	Description
Description	The description of the loop.
Initialization	Set the control variable for the loop to the value it should have when the loop begins running. For example, if the control variable is called counter, the following line of code would initialize it to the value one: counter  = 1
Step	Specify an operation for updating the control variable. This operation will be carried out once for each iteration of the loop. For example, the step you specify could be to add one to the value of counter: counter  =  counter  + 1 –or– counter ++
Expression	Specify the state that the control variable should be in for the loop to continue running. The expression should normally be a logical condition, and when this condition is FALSE, running the loop ends.
