QUIT, BREAK, EXIT, and SKIP functions

This group of C/AL functions also control process flow. Each acts to interrupt flow in different places and with different results. To get a full appreciation for how these functions are used, we need to review them in the correct place in code in NAV 2015.

QUIT function

The QUIT function is the ultimate processing interrupt for Report or XMLport objects. When a QUIT is executed, processing immediately terminates even for the OnPostObject triggers. No database changes are committed. QUIT is often used in reports to terminate processing when the report logic determines that no useful output will be generated by further processing.

The syntax of the QUIT function is as follows:

CurrReport.QUIT;
CurrXMLport.QUIT;

BREAK function

The BREAK function terminates the DataItem in which it occurs. BREAK can only be used in Data Item triggers in Reports and XMLports. It can be used to terminate the sequence of processing one DataItem segment of a report...
