Program Flow-of-Control

---

Like most programming languages, the OLAP DML has a number of statements that you can use to determine the flow-of-control within a program. However, you need to code explicit loops less frequently in an OLAP DML program because of the intrinsic looping nature of many OLAP DML statements.

Table: Statements For Determining Flow-of-Control lists OLAP DML flow-of-control statements. The looping characteristic of OLAP DML statements is discussed in "Looping Nature of OLAP DML Statements".
