Statements

Square brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional element. An ellipsis (...) indicates an element may be repeated.

for <ident> in <list> <statements> end	<ident> is set to each element of <list> in turn. The contained statements are executed for each element. <ident> has an extra “index” property available which gives the zero based position in the list.
continue [if <condition>]	Stop for loop body and move to the next item in the list (if optional condition is true).
if <expr> <statements> [ else if <expr> <statements> ]... [ else <statements> ] end	Evaluate boolean valued expression(s) and execute corresponding clauses of statements.
var <ident> = <expr>	Declare an integer variable, initialised to <expr>
<ident> = <expr>	Set the variable <ident> to the value of <expr>
<ident> += <expr>	Increment the variable <ident> by the value of <expr>
<ident> *= <expr>	Multiply the variable <ident> by the value of <expr>
mark <cell>	Mark a table cell which can later be tested with the marked operator. All marks are cleared for each tabletest.
fail [<expr>] [if <condition>]	Stop evaluation of this test and return failed (if optional condition is true). If the optional string expression is supplied and is not blank then that is passed back through the API instead of the name of the containing querytest or tabletest.
pass [if <condition>]	Stop evaluation of this test and consider it passed. Or pass if the condition is true.
log <expr>	Log value of expression with table under consideration. For example: log "nZeros=" & table.nZeros Might generate output: E00000001: nZeros=45 E00000003: nZeros=32 The log output can be seen in the Cantabular administrative interface disclosure rules “log” link close to the diagnostics links.
