The usage of legacy style blocks is discouraged. This style is a legacy from language previous to objectscript, wether it is accepted by compatibility with old syntaxis.

Non-compliant code

Following code will is readable only for very experienced developers on previous languages to objectscript.

new a,i
for i=1:1 do  quit:i>10
. Write !,"i:",i,"  "
. for j=1:1:3 do
.. write i_j_" "
. set a=$get(a)_i_","
write !,"a=",a
quit 123

Compliant code

Following code is more readable for any developer and compliant with objectscript.

for i=1:1:10 {
  Write !,"i:",i,"  "
  for j=1:1:3 {
    write i_j_" "
    set a=$get(a)_i_","
  }
}
write !,"a=",a
quit 123
