BEGIN-END Statement

The BEGIN statement defines the start of a statement block.

The END statement terminates the statement block started by the immediately preceding BEGIN statement.

The BEGIN-END construct is commonly used in conjunction with FOREACH-IN, CREATE FUNCTION and WHILE statements.

Syntax

$i = 0;
WHILE $i < length($polynames)

IMPORT polygons [
  label = Dress(%polygon_nm),
  lang = %nm_langcd,
]
FROM "data\";
$i = $i + 1;
END
