NEXT statement

Goes directly to the END of an iterating block and starts the next iteration of the block.

Syntax

NEXT [ label ]
label
The name of the block for which you want to start the next iteration. If you do not name a block, the AVM starts the next iteration of the innermost iterating block that contains the NEXT statement.

Example

The FOR EACH block in this procedure reads a single Customer record on each iteration of the block. If the SalesRep field of a Customer record does not match the SalesRep value supplied to the PROMPT-FOR statement, the NEXT statement causes the AVM to do the next iteration of the FOR EACH block, bypassing the DISPLAY statement.

r-next.p

PROMPT-FOR Customer.SalesRep LABEL "Enter salesman initials"
  WITH SIDE-LABELS CENTERED.
FOR EACH Customer:
  IF Customer.SalesRep <> INPUT Customer.SalesRep THEN NEXT.
  DISPLAY Customer.CustNum Customer.Name Customer.City Customer.State 
    WITH CENTERED USE-TEXT.
END.
