How to exit the If loop???

Posted by Subbarao on February 02, 2002 at 4:34 PM

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to exit the if loop. Please go through the following example. 'a' is a string variable.
This equals always other than abc, bcd & ccd and goes to the elase part and displays the message. After you click
ok on the message window, it goes to next screen. I want to exit the loop without going to next screen. Can anyone
tell me how to exit the if loop??? Something like similar to break in switch statement.

if (a.equals("abc"))
{
isAbcOk = false;
}
else if (a.equals("bcd"))
{
isAbcOk = true;
}
else if (a.equals("ccd"))
{
isAbcOk = true;
}
else
{
displayErrorDialog(lengthButton, "You typed abc", logon);
}

Thanks,
Subba Rao
