Syntax

Description

This command jumps to the Until or While command at the beginning of the current loop, missing out all commands after the jump. When used in a While–End While loop, Jump to start of loop jumps to the start of the loop so that Omnis can make the While test; the loop continues or terminates depending on the result of this test, whereas, Break to end of loop automatically terminates the loop regardless of the value of the condition. Placing a Jump outside a loop causes an error.
