Some fourth generation languages, like SAS, have implemented the leave instruction.

data tablea;

       atrib
                name length=$32. label="Subscribers name" fomat=$ebcdic32.

;

do year = 1990, 1991, 1998, 1995;

               input name $;
        
               if name eq ' ' then leave;

               output;

       end;

       put  year= 'Missing subscriber';

     stop;

run;

Like normalization some people take structured programming to seriously.
