<h4><a name="tag_04_26_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>continue</i> utility shall return to the top of the smallest enclosing <b>for</b>, <b>while</b>, or <b>until</b> loop, or
to the top of the <i>n</i>th enclosing loop, if <i>n</i> is specified. This involves repeating the condition list of a <b>while</b>
or <b>until</b> loop or performing the next assignment of a <b>for</b> loop, and re-executing the loop if appropriate.</p>
<p>The value of <i>n</i> is a decimal integer greater than or equal to 1. The default shall be equivalent to <i>n</i>=1. If
<i>n</i> is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used.</p>
