Robotics For Loop: Break Nodes
When using the for loop in the pega robotics (open span) how does the Break node work? What I am trying to do is implement a dynamic limit that changes based off a data grid number of rows. I currently can't figure out how to set the limit to anything other than an integer. If there is a way to set the limit to a variable this would also solve my issue. But for now I was attempting to force an infinite loop by setting the limit to -1 and then setting a break when the data grid value is null (basically the end of the list).
Can someone help explain the for loop function in greater detail please?

Hi,
Here is basic example that might help.
1. Add for Loop , right click on it and reset it.
2. You can not set Limit to other than Integer. I have created one example,in which i am passing value using variable ( that must be in Int ).
To Add openspan integer variable. ( Toolbox > Openspan Variables > Integer )
To Add Break :

To Add Break :
- click on Automation in which you have added for loop.
- click on for loop.
- you will find "break" under methods.
How Does Break Node Work :
- Break Node will halt execution of the ForLoop. and Automation flow continue to next block.

When using a Break control will flow from the Yellow dot next to Break on the For..Loop. You can then handle a break differently then a loop completion. Make sure to connect your execution flow to this dot if you are breaking your loop.
