The following example deletes the first 1001 records, then exits the current component. This is typically used when a component is defined for transaction processing. 

operation exec 
$1 = 0
retrieve

start:          ; the label ends with a colon (:)
if ($1 = 1001)
   store
   exit
else
   remocc
   $1 = $1 + 1
endif
goto start      ; but no colon is used in the goto line
end; exec
