# 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
