Is "ONCE" a powerlanguage keyword?

March 17th, 2024, 09:40 AM

I remember seeing code that used the word ONCE, but don't see it listed in the keyword reference. Is it a recognized word? I want to use it to read a set of starting instructions that are only needed to be read one time.

Once Begin
yada yada yada
End

Does anyone know if this is compliant with PL? Thanks

It is. You have it exactly right

Once begin
Yada yada;
End;

i think that power language was initially based on tradestation easy language... and easy language has what you described... put it in a simple code like you have, verify/compile it to see if it exists and if so, then test to see if it executed one time or multiple times
