| **Output value:** | Argument | Description | | -------- | -------------- | | N/A | Not Applicable | **Example 1** **Executes the next step without skipping, maintaining the flow of execution.** The **Jump Steps By** action takes the value from the **Input Value** column (e.g., **0**) and continues execution to the next step without jumping. This action does not return or store any result in a dynamic variable is primarily used to control the flow of execution.
**Example 2** **Controls execution flow by skipping forward based on step count.** The **Jump Steps By** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **3**) and moves the execution pointer forward by the defined number of steps. This action does not return or store any result in a dynamic variable and is primarily used to control the flow of execution.
**Example 3** **Controls execution flow by skipping backward based on step count.** The **Jump Steps By** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **-4**) and moves the execution pointer backward by the defined number of steps. This action does not return or store any result in a dynamic variable and is primarily used to control the flow of execution
