Argument Descriptions

NTOT

Number of times the preceding command is executed (including the initial execution). Must be 2 or greater. NTOT of 2 causes one repeat (for a total of 2 executions).

VINC1, VINC2, VINC3, . . . , VINC11

Value increments applied to first through eleventh data fields of the preceding command.

Notes

*REPEAT must immediately follow the command that is to be repeated. The numeric arguments of the initial command may be incremented in the generated commands. The numeric increment values may be integer or real, positive or negative, zero or blank. Alphanumeric arguments cannot be incremented. For large values of NTOT, consider printout suppression (/NOPR command) first.

Most commands beginning with slash (/), star (*), as well as "unknown command" macros, cannot be repeated. For these commands, or if more than one command is to be repeated, include them within a do-loop. File switching commands (those reading additional commands) cannot be repeated. If a *REPEAT command immediately follows another *REPEAT command, the repeat action only applies to the last non-*REPEAT command. Also, *REPEAT should not be used in interactive mode immediately after a) a command (or its log file equivalent) that uses picking, or b) a command that requires a response from the user.

This command is valid in any processor.
