ITER

The ITER operation transfers control from within a DO or FOR group to the ENDDO or ENDFOR statement of the group. It can be used in DO, DOU, DOUxx, DOW, DOWxx, and FOR loops to transfer control immediately to a loop's ENDDO or ENDFOR statement. It causes the next iteration of the loop to be executed immediately. ITER affects the innermost loop.

If conditioning indicators are present on the ENDDO or ENDFOR statement to which control is passed, and the condition is not satisfied, processing continues with the statement following the ENDDO or ENDFOR operation.

The LEAVE (Leave a Do/For Group) operation is similar to the ITER operation; however, LEAVE transfers control to the statement following the ENDDO or ENDFOR operation.

 * The following example uses a DOU loop containing a DOW loop.
 * The IF statement checks indicator 01.  If indicator 01 is ON,
 * the LEAVE operation is executed, transferring control out of
 * the innermost DOW loop to the Z-ADD instruction.  If indicator
 * 01 is not ON, subroutine PROC1 is processed.  Then indicator
 * 12 is checked.  If it is OFF, ITER transfers control to the
 * innermost ENDDO and the condition on the DOW is evaluated
 * again.  If indicator 12 is ON, subroutine PROC2 is processed.
