Hello

I have a quick question; is it possible to use nested WHILE loops in Turbo Integrator?

This post implies it is... http://www.tm1forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=348#p16842

... but when I try to run this process as a test:

Prolog:

Code: Select all

#****Begin: Generated Statements***
#****End: Generated Statements****

x = 1; 
y = 1;

WHILE ( x <= 12);
   WHILE ( y <= 12);
    ASCIIOutput('D:\TM1\Files\TimesTables.csv' , NumberToString( x) | ' times by ' | NumberToString( y) | ' is ' | NumberToString( x * y) );
    y = y + 1;
   END;
   x = x + 1;
END;

I get the attached output...

Yes its possible.

The reason you don't get multiple loops through the output is you're failing to reset your inner counter back to 1 for further passes.

So I'm not.

Thanks for the fast response.

Resetting the counter was certainly the solution to our own issues with the while loops. Thank you very much for this.
