Hi,

EXIT will take you out from the Current Processing Block i.e WHEN , whereas LEAVE PROGRAM will terminate the program.......

Hi,

LEAVE PROGRAM always leaves the current program - there is never any processing after LEAVE PROGRAM !

While If you use the EXIT statement within an event block but not in a loop, the system stops processing the block immediatelyand If the EXIT statement occurs inside a DO, WHILE, or LOOP loop, it is the loop that terminates, not the processing block.

I think it will help you.
