EXIT_

EXIT in loops and modularization units

Basic form

EXIT.

Effect

• In loop structures:
  
  Leaves the loop processing (DO , WHILE , LOOP , SELECT )
  

• In subroutines and other modularization units (but outside loop structures):
  
  Leaves the subroutine or modularization unit (FORM , MODULE , FUNCTION , TOP-OF-PAGE , END-OF-PAGE )
  

• Outside loop structures and modularization units (report processing):
  
  Cancels the report processing and displays the list

Example

TABLES T100.
DATA SAP_COUNT TYPE I.

SELECT * FROM T100 WHERE SPRSL = SY-LANGU AND
                         ARBGB = 'DS'.
  WRITE / T100-TEXT.
  IF T100-TEXT CS 'SAP'.
    ADD 1 TO SAP_COUNT.
    IF SAP_COUNT = 3.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDSELECT.

Note

If there are several nested loops, the effect of EXIT is only to leave the current loop. Processing continues after the next END... statement in the next loop up.
