Exit

EXIT DO

EXIT FOR

EXIT FUNCTION

EXIT SUB

Description

EXIT terminates the execution of a block of code in a DO...LOOP, FOR...NEXT, FOR EACH...NEXT, FUNCTION, or SUB. When used to exit a loop, either DO...LOOP, FOR...NEXT, or FOR EACH...NEXT, execution continues with the first statement after the loop; if the loop is nested inside another loop, control is transferred to the loop outside the loop where the EXIT is encountered. When used to exit a FUNCTION or SUB procedure, execution continues with the first statement after the statement which called the procedure.

Example

'EXIT terminates loops and procedures
DIM i
FOR i = 1 to 10

  END IF
  PRINT "Attempting to do nothing"
  DoNothing
NEXT
PRINT "Done"
SUB DoNothing
  EXIT SUB
  PRINT "This statement is never executed"
END SUB

Output

Atempting to do nothing
Done
