<SASREPEAT> Tag

Repeats a substitution for all entries that match given criteria.

Syntax

<SASREPEAT>

</SASREPEAT>

Details

The <SASREPEAT> tag causes a substitution that is enclosed within the tag to repeat for all entries that match the specified name/value pair, as described in Specifying Name/Value Pairs. Without the <SASREPEAT> tag, the substitution stops after matching the first entry.

Any HTML tags or static text that are included in the <SASREPEAT> tag are inserted into the output along with the substitution data, and those tags are repeatedly inserted each time a new entry matches the name/value pair.

The <SASREPEAT> tag is recognized only within the <SASINSERT> tag and is relevant only when it is used with name/value pair substitutions.

Examples

The following example uses the <SASREPEAT> tag to build a list of reports. The substitutions and the HTML tag within the <SASREPEAT> tag are repeated for each entry that matches the type=report name/value pair.

<SASINSERT>

Available reports include:
<ul>
<SASREPEAT>
<li> $(entry="(type=report)" attribute=description)
</SASREPEAT>
</ul>

</SASINSERT>

An example of the rendered view follows:

---

Available reports include:

• President's State of the Union address
• AlpineAirways Annual Report
• Sales Quotas for Midwest Territory

---

The next example uses the <SASREPEAT> tag to build a table. The substitutions and the HTML tags within the <SASREPEAT> tag are repeated for each entry in the main package that matches the type=report name/value pair.

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<SASINSERT>
<SASREPEAT>
<tr><td>$(entry="(type=report)" attribute=description)</td></tr>
</SASREPEAT>
</SASINSERT>
</table>       

An example of the rendered view follows:

President's State of the Union Address

AlpineAirways Annual Report

Sales Quotas for Midwest Territory
