How to exit the outer loop?

Former Member — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:38:15 GMT

Hello,

Could anyone help on how to exit all the loops? I have nested loops like below:

LOOP1

LOOP2

LOOP3

Condition.

ENDLOOP3

ENDLOOP2

ENDLOOP1

Other Statements.

If the condition is met, how to jump out of all the loops and then the program continues with Other Statements. Is there any direct keyword for this? (like EXIT, CONTINUE)

Thank you,

Yang

Hi,

I don't think we have such fecility. You need to place the checks and exit from the loop.


LOOP1 
CLEAR l_flag.
LOOP2
LOOP3

If Condition.satisfied.
l_flag = 1.
EXIT.
endif.

ENDLOOP3

If l_flag = 1.
EXIT.
ENDIF.

ENDLOOP2

If l_flag = 1.
EXIT.
ENDIF.

ENDLOOP1

Thanks,

Vinod.

the short answer is YES; we have exit and we have continue.

insert the keyword, put your cursor on the word, press F1 and read...

David, do you mean there is other possible keyword that can help to exit more than one loop at a time?
