The body of a FOR, WHILE, or REPEAT loop can include the CONTINUE statement. The CONTINUE statement is equivalent to a GOTO to a label placed at the end of the statements in the body of the FOR, WHILE, or REPEAT statement. The CONTINUE statement appears as a single word: CONTINUE In a loop that processes a series of data items, you can use the CONTINUE statement to indicate that the rest of the loop does not apply to the current item, and that the program should continue to the next statement. Use caution when using the CONTINUE statement because future additions to the code may result in the CONTINUE statement continuing with a different loop than was originally intended.
