DO UNTIL STATEMENT

[rohit_95]

Please explain how the do until loop as shown in the picture iterates to give the output as show in the other picture.

The code X+5; (whithout the equal = sign) means: start with 0 and add 5 at each iteration.

do until (x>50); means to stop loop at the given condition.

[rohit_95]

but at x=5 or any value less than 50 the statements within the do group shouldn't get executed but it is getting executed and that is my doubt.

DO UNTIL means that the loop iterates until the condtion IS true.

On the first iteration X=5 so that is less than 50 so the loop continues. On the second iteration X=10 which is also less than 50, etc.

SAS code is just simple text. Paste in the text so that it is readable and can be copied.  Use the Insert SAS code icon to get a pop-up window where you can paste the code so that it retains its formatting.

Posting photogrpahs of text takes longer than pasting the actual text. So it is a waste of your time and of the readers time.

As someone else mentioned, please post input and output as text, not images.
