You can do this. Try
Do[
PrintTemporary[ji],
{ji, {Range[20], Range[200, 300], 400}}
]
or
crange = Join[Range[20], Range[200, 300], {400}];
Do[
PrintTemporary[ji],
{ji, crange}
]

Multiple statements inside a loop have to be separated using ";".
As an example,
Do[
a = Sin[ji Degree];
b = Cos[ji Degree];
Print[ji, "\t", a, "\t", b],
{ji, 0, 90, 45}
]
As with any programming language, you'll want to put stuff in Module[]'s as
readability diminishes
