Operating Condition
Syntax: SET WHILEOPT ON/OFF
Default: ON
SET WHILEOPT improves the optimization and processing of WHILE ...ENDWHILE loops within applications by pre-compiling variables used within the WHILE loop. Follow these guidelines:
•Don't clear your WHILE variable(s).
•Don't define variables within your WHILE loop, only outside the loop; values can change within the loop.
•Adhere to the syntax rules for the SWITCH statement by making sure that the argument for the SWITCH statement is an expression.
•If you issue multiple SET VARIABLE commands on a single command line, those variables will not be optimized. If you want to increase the speed for that loop, put those SET VARIABLE commands on separate lines.
The WHILEOPT setting must be changed in a command file. The setting cannot be saved to the configuration file.
