Delphi in a Nutshell

Name

Continue Procedure

Syntax

Continue;

Description

Continue jumps over the body of a loop, similar to the following goto statement:

label Continue;
begin
  while Condition do
  begin
    DoSomething;
    if AnotherCondition then
      goto Continue;
    DoSomeMore;
 Continue:
  end;

If you call Continue from within nested loop statements, control transfer within the innermost loop only. To continue multiple loops at one time, you must use a goto statement.

The Continue procedure is built into the compiler and is not a real procedure. If you try to use Continue outside of a loop statement, the compiler issues an error message.
