Issue with passing variable to INSERT statement in the HANA xsjs file

The below Java script is having an issue when I try to insert it through the variable but the hard coding of the value has no issues.

Code that needs to be fixed: Passing a variable into the values of the insert is not working

var conn = $.db.getConnection();

var i = 1;

for (i = 1; i < 100; i++)

{

var pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO \"SYSTEM\".\"LOOP\" VALUES (i)");

var rs = pstmt.execute();

}

conn.commit();

Code that works: Passing a hard coded into the values has no issues

var conn = $.db.getConnection();

var i = 1;

for (i = 1; i < 100; i++)

{

var pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO \"SYSTEM\".\"LOOP\" VALUES (100)");

var rs = pstmt.execute();

}

conn.commit();

Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong in the code that needs to be fixed? I don't want to hard code the values but pass the dynamic variable as a value for insert.

Thank you,
