Loops

[Former Member]

Is it possible to catch an illegal assignment to a data

object inside a loop and continue? Or does this type of

exception cause the termination of the loop?

I want to process records within a loop and ignore those

records which throw exceptions.

use continue statement.

loop at iatb.

if cond ne 4.

continue.

endif.

endloop.

continue statement - it skip that record and go for further record in that loop

hi Gregory,

Check this, it will catch the system exceptions which will cause by data problems.

CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS arithmetic_errors = 4

OTHERS = 8.

<<YOUR CODE>>

ENDCATCH.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Gregory,

Use <b>CONTINUE</b>

The continue statement is coded within a loop. It acts like a goto, passing control immediately to the terminating statement of the loop and beginning a new loop pass. In effect, it causes the statements below it within the loop to be ignored and a new loop pass to begin.

The following points apply:

• continue can only be coded within a loop.

• continue has no additions.

Reward points if helpful.

Thanks

Aneesh.
