CONTINUE

 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.
