    You are going to be looping in the i := 1 to 3, with each loop its incrementing... I'm not sure if I'm understanding this right, but if you want to ignore two then you can always do: 
    IF i <> 2 THEN BEGIN
   //some code here
END;

    and do the part you wanted to do for 1 and 3 within that section.

    SKIP is used to skip a record in fashion of CurrReport.SKIP, or DataPort.SKIP, etc... Since you are doing i := 1 TO 3, its going to go through 1, 2, and 3 no matter what, that's what its being told to do.

    What exactly are you trying to do with it so we can better help and understand it?

    You answered your own question:

    There is no such thing as a 'Continue' command in C/AL, but you already knew that.

    Not sure If I'm following but how I read the question you could use a confirm no???

    if 1 then do something
    if 2 then confirm (would you like to go to 3 or would you like to do something else)

    I might be right on or way off :mrgreen:

    Not sure you explained well because if i = 1 to 3 it will always hit 2 what do you want to skip.

    these vague theoretical hypotheticals give me a headache-ical :lol:

    I should read the original question more carefully :oops: . You could do something like this: 
    i := 0; // i is an integer
ContinueProcessing := TRUE; // ContinueProcessing is a boolean
REPEAT
  i := i + 1;
  ContinueProcessing := CONFIRM('i equals ' + FORMAT(i) + '. Do you want to continue?',TRUE);;
UNTIL (i = 10) OR (ContinueProcessing = FALSE);
    As long as you hit the Yes button it shold keep looping, and jump out when you click no. Put this code in a button on a test form and see what happens. I haven't tested the code yet so you might need to play around with it a little bit.
