Control flow

Control flow is the order in which statements are executed. In the IBM RPA scripting language, a statement is a command call.

When you run a script, the bot runs each command in the order they appear in the script, one after the other. Although bots can run in parallel, one bot can't run more than one command at the same time.

You can deviate the control flow by using commands that either repeat certain blocks of code or ignore blocks of code, depending on a condition. These are called loop commands and conditional commands, respectively.

• Loop commands
  A comprehensive list of all the commands that repeat a block of code until a certain condition is met.

• Conditional commands
  A comprehensive list of all the commands that run a block of code only if a condition is met.
