I'm using a do/while loop in my easytrieve code and need it to break during a loop if a certain condition is met...is this possible?

hi,
It is possible to break Do..While loop once your condition is met.
You need to code a go to statement, if your condition get satisfied.
For example consider the following code:
...
Do while NOT EOF (file-name)
...
...
...
...
IF dept = 420 (assume this as your break condition)
GO TO Continue (give a labeel name, to break the loop)
END-IF
...
...
END-DO

Continue.
..
.. (here your rest of the code)

Hope it helps you:)-
