Repeat

IN -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE PROCEDURE repeatProcedure(OUT resultCounter INTEGER)
BEGIN
    DECLARE counter INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
   
    customeLabel: REPEAT 
    	SET counter = counter + 1;
	UNTIL 10 < counter    
    END REPEAT customeLabel;
   
    SET resultCounter = counter;
END;

CALL repeatProcedure(:?);

Result

|resultCounter|
|-------------|
|11           |

Snowflake Scripting

Repeat

OUT -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE repeatProcedure (RESULTCOUNTER OUT INTEGER)
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "teradata",  "convertedOn": "07/16/2025",  "domain": "no-domain-provided" }}'

	DECLARE
		counter INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
	BEGIN

			counter := counter + 1;
		UNTIL (10 < :counter)
		END REPEAT CUSTOMELABEL;
		resultCounter := counter;
	END;
