implements a basic counting loop within a macro
<count> Number of times to loop <label> Result label to hold count (optional) The LOOP loop is a simplified version of the DO loop that is provided for compatibility with X-Midas. A LOOP-ENDLOOP combination is used in a macro to loop through a sequence of commands <count> number of times. If specified, the results parameter <label> will contain the current loop count. When the loop is finished, <label> will be equal to <count>. <label> starts at 1 and continues up through <count> inclusively. Thus for <count>=3, <label> becomes 1, 2, 3, and then the loop stops. There are no restrictions nesting LOOP loops. Examples: 1. Initialize the results MYRES_1 ... MYRES_7. LOOP 7 i result myres_^i 0 ENDDO SEE ALSO: DO, ENDLOOP, BREAK, CONTINUE
