You want to break out of a DTML loop but there is no loop breaking DTML
syntax. <br>
<br>
Here is another candidate DTML work-around:<br>
<br>
<dtml-in someSequence><br>
<dtml-if someCondition> <br>
whatever you do in the loop<br>
</dtml-if><br>
</dtml-in><br>
<br>
That way, you can avoid processing past a certain point, just that the
loop will run until the sequence reached the end. Of course if your
sequence is huge then this would be costly in terms of processing time
and then you should play the python card.<br>

Never done this myself, just a thought.

<pre wrap="">DTML is not a complete programming language; it simply provides some
(too-) familiar structures. You may try to treat it as such,
and can get away with it to a certain extent, but you may run
into limitations.
If you treat it as a templating engine (which it is) you will
find it complete.
