Exiting a Loop.

Former Member — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 19:46:27 GMT

Experts,

I am in a loop, say the third record out of ten, I have a scenario where I neeed to exit that third instance of the loop so no subsequent processing occurs within that instance of the loop. I say exit. However, I want to loop to the fourth record and let it process thru the loop.

When I say exit it exits the loop all together. Is there a syntax I can use to only quit out of that third record out of ten and then loop at the fourth record? Otherwise it looks like the old reliable set a flag so it does not continue processing within the rest of that occurence of the loop. I have too many nested IFS already within this loop and am trying to avoid another one.

Thank-You.

Say CONTINUE.

loop at itab.

if condition = false.
continue.
endif.


endloop.

Use continue statement in IF condition or CHECK <condition> statement in the loop.

or replace the IF condition with a CHECK statement.

CHECK condition = true.

*-- these lines will be processed only if the condition is true
