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.

Noncompliant Code Example

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 Example

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
