Break Statement

The Break statement does the following:

• Stops the innermost loop of the following statements:
  • For
  • While
  • Do
• Controls the flow in a Switch statement.

Format A

break;

Format B

break label;

Table 16 describes the arguments you can use with the Break statement.

Usage

You can write code that uses the Break statement only in the following situations:

• In a loop. Stops the loop if the code no longer requires the loop.
• In a Switch statement. Stops Siebel eScript from running any code that occurs after the Label statement. Causes Siebel eScript to exit the Switch statement.

If you use the Break statement in a nested loop, then it causes Siebel eScript to stop running the script only in this nested loop. If the Break statement occurs in a nested loop, then you can use the label argument to indicate the beginning of the loop that Siebel eScript must stop.

Example
