NEXT Command

This command loads a variable with the next sequential value from a set of values. This could be either a list or a range associated with that variable, or from a file associated with the variable.

When the NEXT command is first executed, it will retrieve the first value. The set is treated as cyclic: when the last value has been retrieved, the next value retrieved will be the first in the set.

The first NEXT command to be executed after the RESET retrieves the first value in the set.

The variable must have a set of values or a file associated with it in the Definitions section.

Command Definition:

NEXT variable

variable

The name of a variable into which the next value from the set is loaded. The variable must have a set of values or a file associated with it in the DEFINITIONS section.
