Let's say you have the following code:
FOR I = 1 to 10;
// some code here
ENDFOR;
How would you skip over an element?
Currently using GOTO
works, but I do not like that solution. For example:
FOR I = 1 to 10;
IF I = 4;
C GOTO NEXTONE
ENDIF;
// some code here
C NEXTONE TAG
ENDFOR;
The ITER operation transfers control from within a DO or FOR group to the ENDDO or ENDFOR statement of the group. It can be used in DO, DOU, DOUxx, DOW, DOWxx, and FOR loops to transfer control immediately to a loop's ENDDO or ENDFOR statement. It causes the next iteration of the loop to be executed immediately. ITER affects the innermost loop.
