The following two keywords may occasionlly be needed. The break keyword
can normally be simulated in other ways but is useful in record loops.
Its function is to break
one level back. Normally it is used within the body of a loop to break out of
the loop on certain conditions (as an addition to the standard loop condition
in while ... do ... wend loops). The exit keyword exits the entire equate expression all
the way back to where it was initially called from within a text body or in a
filter condition. The example below searches all the records in the names
database
for a matching value and returns the record number of the first record the
field matched.
%%EQUATE FIND
1 >> n
roll
if %NAME = "Smith" then break
else ++n >> n
endif
through:names
outputs(n)
