CONTINUE Command

(Area 3)

The CONTINUE command attaches a label to a nonprocedural statement. It does not move data, perform arithmetic calculations, or any other functions. CONT can be used in place of CONTINUE in a command.

The format of the CONTINUE command is as follows:

►►─┬──────────┬─┬─ CONTINUE ─┬────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄
   └─ label: ─┘ └─ CONT ─────┘
label:

Specifies an optional identifying label that allows a GOTO branch to be made to this statement.

A branch to a CONTINUE command shifts control to the procedural statement immediately following the CONTINUE command.
