Basic control flow in a pascal script

PROGRAM

        ProgramName (FileList);

CONST        

        <Constant declarations>

TYPE    

        <Type declarations>

VAR

        <Variable declarations>

        <definitions of subprogram>

BEGIN         <Executable statements>

END.

Control Structures

All the typical control structures (building blocks) occurring in Pascal Script are described in the following table.

The table shows a flow chart and Pascal Script code required to implement that logic. You can simnply copy and paste these blocks and then edit them to finish your script.

In actual implementation, just substitute the following:

  • Replace <condition> with an actual Pascal statement that tests for a condition.
  • Replace <Action> with code block that takes action relevant to the condition.
