    pm.collectionVariables.set("eligibilityResponse", response);
 
    const results = JSON.parse(pm.collectionVariables.get("eligibilityResponse"));
 
    for (let i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {

Hi @monica.anand. Welcome to the Postman Community!

You should use `pm.execution.setNextRequest("request_name");` instead. pm.setNextRequest is deprecated and might not give desired results.

Your code is very hard to read without having any comments or details on what it is supposed to do.

Try breaking your code down into steps, and include details on what each step is meant to do.

Please note, that setNextRequest() just sets the next request that will run after the current request and all of the code in your scripts have run.

Based on your code, this will run fully through your for loop.

`for (let i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {`

This means the final setNextRequest will be the setNextRequest(null).
