Example 9-20 Skipping Over Code in a FOR Loop

In the following lines from a program, an IF command is used to test whether total sales for a district exceed 5,000,000. When sales are more this amount, the program goes on to produce a report for that district. However, when a district's sales are less than the amount, the CONTINUE command is used to transfer control to the end of the FOR loop (just before the DOEND command). No lines are produced for that district, and the program goes on to test the next district in the status list.

...
FOR district
    DO          
    IF TOTAL(sales, district) LT 5000000
      THEN CONTINUE
     ... "(report commands for districts with total sales above 5,000,000)
    DOEND
