  • The BREAK Command:
    • The BREAK command is used to exit the nearest enclosing WHILE, DO, or FOREACH loop. It functions similarly to the Java break Statement.

      For example, the following loop will exit once it reaches 4: 
      do count 1 7 1
  if count EQ 4 then BREAK
  say "The count is at ^count"
enddo
    • See the BREAK explain file for more details.
  • The CONTINUE Command:
    • The CONTINUE command is used to quit the current iteration and starts the next one of the nearest enclosing WHILE, DO, or FOREACH loop. It functions similarly to the Java continue Statement.

      For example, the following loop will skip the SAY when count is 4: 
      do count 1 7 1
  if count EQ 4 then CONTINUE
  say "The count is at ^count"
enddo
    • See the CONTINUE explain file for more details.
