CONTINUE

Statement: Primarily used to terminate a labeled DO construct when the construct would otherwise end improperly with either a GO TO, arithmetic IF, or other prohibited control statement.

CONTINUE

The statement by itself does nothing and has no effect on program results or execution sequence.

Example

The following example shows a CONTINUE statement:

    DO 150 I = 1,40
40  Y = Y + 1
    Z = COS(Y)
    PRINT *, Z
    IF (Y .LT. 30) GO TO 150
    GO TO 40
150 CONTINUE

The following shows another example:

     DIMENSION narray(10)
     DO 100 n = 1, 10
     narray(n) = 120
100  CONTINUE
