Use the DO-WHILE statement to set up loop control within a module
program. This statement is similar to the DO-UNTIL rel expr (page
11 -8). All statements between the DO and the WHILE rel expr are
executed as long as the relational expression following the WHILE
statement is true. You can nest DO-WHILE statements.
The control stack (C-stack) stores all information associated with loop
control. The C-stack is 157 bytes long. DO-WHILE loops use 3 bytes of
the C-stack. Do not improperly exit this loop or a C-stack error occurs.
See CLEARS (page 11 -3).
Important: Excessive nesting exceeds the limits of the C-stack. An error
occurs and the module enters Command mode. For more information see
control stack, page 8 -1.
