for loop compile error
 

Hi
can i use for loops in udf ?
like this :

for (int j = 10 ; j >= 0 ; j = j - 1)
{
.......;
}

errors :
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'type'
error C2065: 'j' : undeclared identifier
warning C4552: '>=' : operator has no effect; expected operator with side-effect

i'd define j as a global variable and create an if like

if (j >= 0)
{
...
j--;
}
