DO REPEAT and LOOP (when to use what)

Troubleshooting


Problem

I notice that in SPSS there are several command sets which permit repetitive processing. I am referring to LOOP / END LOOP and DO REPEAT / END REPEAT. Can you give me some guidelines on where each of these commands are most useful. Specifically when should I use DO REPEAT, and when should I use LOOP?
