# Hi GAWK Team!

BEGIN{

      continue }                    # or break

# i found it when i try to 'continue' or 'break' from inside a function
# that is called from areas that are appropriated for 'continue' or 'break'
# statements (meaning: switch-case area and all types of gawk's loops)
#
# the interest question is: is it possible if user may for example breaks
# the loop that is implemented somewhere else? please see the following
# example for better understanding what exactly i meaning:

BEGIN{

      while ( 1 )

            callfn() }

      func  callfn() {

            break }                 # 'break' statement successfully breaks loop
                                    # located in BEGIN area
