The BREAK statement passes control to the statement following the final statement in the structure (the NEXT statement, LOOP statement, or ENDSELECT statement, respectively). <br /> <br /> The BREAK statement must occur between a FOR and NEXT statement, between a DO and LOOP statement, or within a CASE block. <br /> <br /> If a BREAK statement occurs within an IF/THEN or IF/THEN/ELSE structure, the IF structure must itself be within a FOR/NEXT loop, DO/LOOP structure, or CASE block, and the BREAK statement refers to the FOR, DO, or CASE structure, accordingly. <br /> <br /> There can be multiple BREAK statements within a given FOR/NEXT or DO/LOOP structure. <br /> <br /> Example 1:<br /> <br /> FOR I=1 TO 10 ! Start the loop<br /> .<br /> IF A=I THEN BREAK ! If A=I jump to end of loop <br /> . <br /> NEXT I ! Increment I and loop back<br /> !<br /> HERE: ! The BREAK statement jumps to this label<br /> <br /> <br /> Example 2: <br /> DO WHILE I LE 10 ! Start the loop<br /> .<br /> IF A=I [THEN] BREAK ! If A=I jump to end of loop<br /> .<br /> LOOP ! Loop back<br /> !<br /> HERE: ! The BREAK statement jumps to this label</div>
