WHILE statements

A
WHILE
condition is evaluated before the first pass through the statements. Therefore, if the conditional
expression is never true, the conditional statements are never executed. An example is:
WHILE (<conditional expression>)
{
}

Statements are executed repeatedly while the conditional expression evaluates to true.
The condition is tested before each pass through the conditional statements.
There is no timeout period as was the case with Axcess. The original intent of the timeout
