EXIT - loop
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
EXIT.
Effect
If the EXIT statement is specified within a
loop, it exits the loop by ending the current loop pass. The program flow resumes after the closing statement in the loop.
Note
Outside of a loop, the statement EXIT exits the current
processing block (see
EXIT - Processing Block). EXIT, however, should only be used within loops.
Example
Exits a loop using EXIT if the loop index sy-index is greater than a number limit.
DATA limit TYPE i VALUE 10.
DO.
IF sy-index > limit.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
cl_demo_output=>write( |{ sy-index } | ).
ENDDO.
cl_demo_output=>display( ).
