The FOREVER, or DO FOREVER, statement starts a, potentially infinite, loop. The commands between FOREVER or DO FOREVER and the corresponding END statement are being executed forever, or until execution of the loop gets interrupted by other means, e.g. by S_TOOLS-STx crashing, a BREAK statement being encountered, or an EXIT, or a GOTO statement being executed.
FOREVER

Cave: If you do not use a BREAK, EXIT, or GOTO command for interrupting the loop, it may run for a really long time.
