Loops a fixed number of times.

This loop function can be used only in the loop expression tab and specifies that the associated output map element is to loop a specified number of times.

This function is typically used in the case where the minimum number of times the map element occurs is zero and a child map element has a default value or constant values that want to appear in the output.

You can use the LoopIndex function in conjunction with this function to get the index number for each occurrence of the output loop.

This function can only be used in the Loop tab.

Properties

Count The number of times to loop. This is optional and if omitted 1 time is assumed.

This property is also available as an argument. If you specify both, the argument value is used and the property value is ignored.
