break

break out of a loop

Syntax
break

Description
This command must be used inside a loop statement ( for , foreach , repeat , or while ). When executed, the current loop statement is terminated and control passes to the command following the loop statement. Thus, in the case of nested loops break does not break out of all loops back to the top level (see Return ).

Example
/**/  For I := 5 To 1 Step -1 Do
/**/    For J := 1 To 100 Do
/**/      Print J, " ";
/**/      If J = I Then PrintLn; Break; EndIf;
/**/    EndFor;
/**/  EndFor;
