C/AL Control Structures

All the C/AL programs that you create consist of one or more statements, which are executed sequentially in top-down order. However, you will often need to control the direct top-down flow of the execution. One or more statements may have to be repeated more than once, or you may have to make the execution of a certain statement conditional. To do this, you use control structures.

The control structures in C/AL are divided into the following main groups:

 1. Compound statements

 2. Conditional statements

 3. Repetitive statements

 4. WITH statements
