Block Operations (Magic xpa 4.x)

The Block operation encloses a group of procedural operations within a logical block. The execution of all operations in the block is dependent on the Block operation type, and the Condition of the Block operation.

To create a more structured and efficient code it is recommended to use the Block operation. See also Advantages of the Block Operation.

Block Operation Types

There are four Block operation types:

  • Block If – The basic Block operation.

  • Block Else – The Block Else operation is an extension of the Block If operation, which provides multiple conditions in single block unit.

  • Block While – The Block While operation instructs the Magic xpa engine to repeatedly execute the operation within the block.

  • Block End – The Block End option closes the block. All operations between the Block If and Block End operation belong to a single block unit.
