# Directives

EXITTO | End Loop, Transfer Control

## Format

EXITTO [stmtref]

Where:

stmtref | Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control.

## Description

The EXITTO directive terminates the currently active FOR ... NEXT, GOSUB ... RETURN, REPEAT ... UNTIL or WHILE ... WEND loop prematurely and transfers control to the statement number indicated.

EXITTO lets you terminate one of these processes early by removing its associated entry from the top of the stack. If there is no active entry on the stack, PxPlus returns Error #27: Unexpected or incorrect WEND, RETURN, or NEXT.

When used in a compound statement, EXITTO must be the final directive.
