EXIT statement
Syntax
EXIT
Description
Use the EXIT statement to quit execution of a Description loop or a Description loop and branch to the statement following the NEXT or REPEAT statement of the loop. The EXIT statement quits exactly one loop. When loops are nested and the EXIT statement is executed in an inner loop, the outer loop remains in control.
Example
COUNT = 0
LOOP
WHILE COUNT < 100 DO
INNER = 0
LOOP
WHILE INNER < 100 DO
COUNT += 1
INNER += 1
IF INNER = 50 THEN EXIT
REPEAT
PRINT "COUNT = ":COUNT
REPEAT
This is the program output:
COUNT = 50
COUNT = 100
