The purpose of a REPEAT statement is to perform the loop test
at the END of the loop, instead of at the beginning. Thus,
the correct syntax is:

REPEAT statement UNTIL test

For a multiple-statement REPEAT the syntax will look like this:

REPEAT BEGIN
Statement1
Statement2
ENDREP UNTIL test

Cheers,

David
