looping on a specific value. You can do that by defining a repeat attribute.
You can iterate over sequences of:
- strings
- integers
- dates
- arbitrary list of dates
A sequence of integers or dates is created by specifying the
first and last element, with an optional increment (the default is one).
From ecflow5 we can also now create a repeat with an arbitrary list of dates.
| Code Block |
|---|
repeat datelist YMD 20130101 20130102 20130103 20200101 20190101 |
An ecFlow variable, whose name corresponds to the name of the repeat,
will be generated. This can be used in scripts or trigger expressions.
| Note |
|---|
If repeat date, or repeat datelist are used in trigger expressions, they will use date arithmetic. |
Repeat with day/date
The behaviour of day/date attribute under a repeat has changed from ecflow 4.0. Take the example below.
In ecflow 4.0, if task t1 took longer than 1 hour task t2 would not run.
In ecflow 5.0, once the day monday is free on family f1, its stays free until the automatic re-queue caused by the parent repeat. The net effect being that task t2 will still run, even if we have strayed into Tuesday.

repeat integer rep 0 1

time 23:00
