st: programming: exiting nested loops

[Laura Gibbons <gibbonsl@u.washington.edu>]

I'm writing a simulation program where if something happens, I want to 
jump out of a set of nested loops and go to the next replication.  Is 
there a short cut for putting -continue, break- in every nested loop?

When I learned Fortran with numbered program lines (cards, actually, this 
was 36 years ago!), I could just write "GO TO 100" which meant go to line 
100.  Is there anything similar in Stata?

Many thanks,

Laura
