NEXTLOOP

Discussion

The NEXTLOOP statement terminates the current iteration of a loop statement (such as DO, FOR, REPEAT, and WHILE). Execution continues with the next ­iteration of the current loop statement.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the difference between the NEXTLOOP, EXITLOOP, and EXIT statements.

for i from 1 thru 100
  begin
    if (.not. %valid(data(i)))
      begin
        if ((severity = %fixit(data(i))) .eq. FIXED)
            exit                                ;Process the data
        if (severity .eq. FATAL)
            exitloop                            ;Get out of for loop
        nextloop                                ;Start next iteration
      end
    xcall process(data(i))
  end
