When processing a loop with the statement DO... ENDDO, what system variable contains the implicit loop counter?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

When processing a loop with the statement DO... ENDDO, the system variable that contains the implicit loop counter is sy-index. The loop counter is a numeric value that indicates how many times the loop has been executed. The loop counter is initialized to 1 before the first execution of the loop and is incremented by 1 after each execution. The loop counter can be used to control the number of loop iterations or to access the loop elements by index.The loop counter can also be accessed or modified within the loop body, but this is not recommended as it may cause unexpected results or errors1.

For example, the following code snippet uses the loop counter sy-index to display the numbers from 1 to 10:

DO 10 TIMES. WRITE: / sy-index. ENDDO.

The output of this code is:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

sy-subrc is used for return codes, not loop counters!

I’m a bit confused; I thought sy-linno was related to line numbers, not loop counters.

I think the implicit loop counter might be in sy-index, but I'm not completely sure.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know there are a few different system variables that could be related to loops, but I can't quite recall which one specifically holds the loop counter. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The implicit loop counter is stored in the sy-index system variable. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Okay, let's see. The loop counter is usually something that gets incremented with each iteration, so I'm guessing it's probably sy-index or sy-linno. I'll have to double-check the documentation to be sure.
