  • The indentation is not required, but shown for clarity. Declaring the variable S is also not included, since similar stuff doesn't seem to be included in other examples.
  • S is a string variable. In ESCR, storage for a string can grow dynamically at run time as needed. The string initialially starts empty, with one "*" appended to it each iteration.

<pre>
loop
  append s "*"
  show s
  endloop</pre>

The indentation is not required, but shown for clarity.  Declaring the variable S is also not included, since similar stuff doesn't seem to be included in other examples.

S is a string variable.  In ESCR, storage for a string can grow dynamically at run time as needed.  The string initialially starts empty, with one "*" appended to it each iteration.
