10.3.9 Restrictions when using the NEXT start
The "NEXT start" is a command indicating the end of the repetitions when executing
section "10.3.7 Repeated start (FOR loop)" and section "10.3.8 Repeated start (FOR
condition)".
The following shows the restrictions when setting "7: NEXT start" in the "start block
data".
(1) The processing when "7: NEXT start" is set before execution of "5: FOR loop" or
"6: FOR condition" is the same as that for a "0: normal start".
(2) Repeated processing will not be carried out if there is no "7: NEXT start"
command after the "5: FOR loop" or "6: FOR condition" command. (Note that an
"error" will not occur.)
(3) Nesting is not possible between "5: FOR loop" and "7: NEXT start", or between
"6: FOR condition" and "7: NEXT start". A warning "FOR to NEXT nesting
structure" (warning code: 506) will occur if nesting is attempted.

A warning will occur when starting the 4th

The JUMP destination of the 7th point "NEXT"
is the 4th point. The 9th point "NEXT" is
processed as normal start.
