| ERROR | illegal EXIT/CONTINUE statement; must appear inside the loop labeled string |
| CAUSE | The label in the EXIT or CONTINUE statement did not refer to a loop statement. An EXIT or CONTINUE statement need not specify a label. However, if a label is specified (as in EXIT my_label or CONTINUE my_label), the EXIT or CONTINUE statement must be inside the LOOP statement designated by that label. |
| ACTION | Make sure the label name is spelled correctly; if necessary, move the EXIT or CONTINUE statement inside the LOOP statement to which the label refers. |
