Alternative definition : BRIDG 5.3: A coded value specifying the points in the course of an activity when a
precondition for the activity is evaluated. EXAMPLE(S) When the checkpointCode for
a criterion of a repeatable activity is end, the criterion is tested only at the end
of each repetition of that activity. When the condition holds true, the next repetition
is ready for execution. When the checkpointCode is entry, the criterion is checked
at the beginning of each repetition, if any, whereas beginning means the criterion
is checked only once before the repetition loop starts. The checkpointCode through
is special in that it requires the condition to hold throughout the execution of the
activity, even throughout a single execution. As soon as the condition turns false,
the activity should receive an interrupt event (see PlannedActivity.interruptibleIndicator)
and will eventually terminate. NOTE(S): The checkpointCode specifies when the precondition
is to be checked; it is analogous to the various conditional statements and loop constructs
in programming languages while-do vs. do-while or repeat-until vs. loop-exit.;
