Control Flow Statementskeyworddocumented

Syntax

Continue {Do | For | While}

Description

Skips all code until the end clause of a loop structure, i.e. Do...Loop, For...Next, or a While...Wend block, then executes the limit condition check. In the case of a For...Next, the variable is incremented according to the Step specified.

Where there are multiple Do / For / While blocks nested, it will continue on the innermost block of that type, i.e. the last one entered. You can continue an earlier block of that type by giving the word multiple times, separated by commas. e.g. continue while, while
