The CONTINUE statement provides a convenient way to immediately start the next iteration of the enclosing FOR, FOREACH, WHILE, or REPEAT loop.
Note: Do not confuse the CONTINUE statement described here with the .CONTINUE executive command. The two constructs are not related, and serve completely different purposes.
Note: CONTINUE is not allowed within CASE or SWITCH statements. This is in contrast with the C language, which does allow this.
Examples
This example presents one way (not necessarily the best) to print the even numbers between 1 and 10.
FOR I = 1,10 DO BEGIN
IF (I AND 1) THEN CONTINUE
PRINT, I
ENDFOR
