CONTINUE statement

Syntax: CONTINUE
Discussion: The CONTINUE statement passes control to the NEXT statement in a FOR/NEXT structure or to the LOOP statement in a DO/LOOP structure.

A CONTINUE statement must occur within a FOR/NEXT structure or a DO/LOOP structure.

If a CONTINUE statement occurs within an IF/THEN or IF/THEN/ELSE structure, the IF structure must itself be within a FOR/NEXT loop or DO/LOOP structure, and the CONTINUE statement refers to the FOR or DO structure, accordingly.

There can be multiple CONTINUE statements within a given FOR/NEXT or DO/LOOP structure.

Example: 
DO WHILE A LT 100      ! Start the loop
.
   IF A=B              ! If A = B, then
        CONTINUE       ! jump to the LOOP statement
   ELSE                ! otherwise
   .                   ! execute these statements
   .
   ENDIF               ! End the IF structure
.
LOOP                   ! End the DO structure
