Samples

In a system that handles Employee information, consider the following Transaction object:

Employee
 
   EmployeeId*
   EmployeeName
   EmployeeDateOfBirth
   EmployeeDateOfAdmission
   EmployeeResignDate
   ....
}

Suppose you may want to know if an employee has quit within a specific period of time. 

After verifying if there is at least one matching that condition, you want to exit the For each and stop the search.

The implementation would be:

&Found = 0
For each Employee order EmployeeResignDate
    Where EmployeeResignDate >= &StartDate
    Where EmployeeResignDate <= &EndDate
         &Found = 1
          Exit
EndFor

If &Found = 1
    Msg('Employee found that satisfies the condition')
Else
    Msg('NO Employee satisfies the condition')
EndIf
