Function

The AT END OF DATA statement is used to specify processing to be performed when all records selected for a database processing loop have been processed.

This section covers the following topics:

See also AT START/END OF DATA Statements in the Programming Guide.

Processing

This statement is non-procedural, that is, its execution depends on an event, not on where in a program it is located.

Values of Database Fields

When the AT END OF DATA condition for the processing loop occurs, all database fields contain the data from the last record processed.

Positioning

This statement must be specified within the same program module which contains the loop creating statement.

System Functions

Natural system functions may be used in conjunction with an AT END OF DATA statement as described in Using System Functions in Processing Loops in the System Functions documentation.

Syntax Description

Syntax Element Description
(r)
Reference to a Specific Processing Loop:
An AT END OF DATA statement may be related to a specific active processing loop by using the notation (r).

If this notation is not used, the AT END OF DATA statement will be related to the outermost active database processing loop.

statement ...
Statement(s) to be Executed at End of Data Condition:

In structured mode, you must supply one or several suitable statements, depending on the situation. For an example of a statement, see Example below.

END-ENDDATA
End of AT END OF DATA Statement:

In structured mode, the Natural reserved word END-ENDDATA must be used to end the AT END OF DATA statement.

In reporting mode, use the DO ... DOEND statements to supply one or several suitable statements, depending on the situation, and to end the AT END OF DATA statement. If you specify only a single statement, you can omit the DO ... DOEND statements. With respect to good coding practice, this is not recommended.

statement ...
DO statement ... DOEND
