[ncl-talk] usage of "continue" [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Dennis Shea]

YES!!!!    'break' ... sorry!!!!  THX


do i=0,10
   do j=0,20
      If(a(i).eq.b(j)) then
          X = j
          break    ; exit 'j' loop; go to 1st statement after the end
of the 'j' loop
       end if
   end do         ; end 'j' loop
end do            ; end 'i' loop

The above 'break' will jump to
 end do           ; end 'i' loop
