Rule for a CONDITION Command and a REPEAT Subcommand

The REPEAT subcommand is used with the PRINTLINE command to specify the number of printlines (usually greater than one) that are to be constructed with the same specifications (font, direction, and so on). The CONDITION command is used to invoke conditional processing based on the data in a particular line. When the REPEAT and CONDITION commands are both specified for the same PRINTLINE command, every line described by the PRINTLINE command is checked for the given condition until either the condition is satisfied or there are no more lines described by the PRINTLINE command.

Note: This is different from the way in which the CHANNEL and POSITION subcommands interact with the PRINTLINE command. These two subcommands apply only to the first line described by the PRINTLINE command.
