# example usage of dbLoadRecordsLoop() and iocshCmdLoop() etc
# define a loop or list variable, then references to \$(VAR) will be replaced by loop/list values
# you can use \$(VAR) in any of the parameters, including the db file name
# the loop/list variable I here is passed to the DB file along with any other specified macros
# we now loop I over a range of 1 to 3

# here S is our list variable with values x, Y and Z

# as the loop/list variable is always passed though, we can instead iterate over Q
