Operations

Standard Operations

The Standard category includes the following operations:

Operation	Description
Break	Exits the current loop or enumerator operation. This is an analogue if the `break` statement in programming languages such as C++ or the `Exit` statement in Visual Basic.
Case	Executes the child operation(s) if the Switch expression value matches the specified value.
Catch	Executes the child operations if an error occurs during execution of child operations of the preceding Try operation. This is an analogue of the `catch` statement in such programming languages as C++ and Visual Basic, or `except` in Delphi.
Dependent Group	Groups operations that are prerequisites or depend on another operation group.
Else	Executes the child operation(s) if the condition of the If... operation or all Case operations that precedes the Else operation is not met.
Finalization	Executes the child operation(s) right before the macro run is finished.
Finally	Executes the child operations regardless of the possible errors that occurred during execution of child operations of the preceding Try operation. Generally, it is applied to ensure that the used recourses are released. This is an analogue of the `finally` statement in such programming languages as C++, Visual Basic or Delphi.
For Loop	Executes the child operation(s) in a loop. This is an analogue of the `for` statement in programming languages such as C++, Visual Basic or Delphi.
Go to Label	Transfers macro execution to the specified Label operation. This is an analogue of the `goto` statement in programming languages.
Group	Lets you organize several operations into a group. The grouped operations can be executed one after another as well as simultaneously.
If Previous Operation Fails	Executes the child operation(s) if an error occurred during execution of the previous operation in the macro.
If Previous Operation Succeeds	Executes the child operation(s) if execution of the previous operation in the macro was successful.
If ... Then	Checks the condition and performs the child operation(s) if the condition is True. This is an analogue of the `if` statement in such programming languages as C++, Visual Basic or Delphi.
Initialization	Executes the child operation(s) right after the macro run is started.
Label	Marks a particular point in the macro.
List Enumerator	Obtains a collection of list items and then performs child operations for each item in the collection.
Log Message	Posts a custom message to the log.
Run Library Submacro	Executes a library submacro.
Run Submacro	Executes operations of a submacro.
Script	Lets you create a custom script in any of the 3 supported scripting languages.
Set/Reset Variable Value	Sets or restores the default value of a variable from a macro.
Stop Macro Execution	Stops the macro run without any conditions.
Submacro	Organizes a set of operations into a submacro. You can call the same submacro using the Run Submacro operation from different places in your macro.
Switch	Executes one of the several operations or groups of operations, depending on the expression value. This is an analogue of the `switch` statement in such programming languages as C++ or Delphi, or `Select Case` statement in Visual Basic.
Throw	Throws an exception. It is an analogue of the `throw` statement in such programming languages as C++ and Visual Basic.
Try	Introduces a block of protected operations. Executes the child operation(s) and, if an error occurs, executes child operations of the following Catch or Finally operation. This is an analogue of the `try` statement in such programming languages as C++, Visual Basic or Delphi.
While Loop	Performs the child operation(s) in a loop. This is an analogue of the `while` statement in such programming languages as C++, Visual Basic or Delphi.
