<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 the following:
   <ul>
   <SASREPEAT>
   <li> $(entry="(type=report)" 
      attribute=description)</li>
   </SASREPEAT>
   </ul>

   </SASINSERT>

An example of the rendered view follows:

Available reports include the following:

• President's State of the Union address
• AlphaliteAirways 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:
