What will pass through the remaining part of the instructions in a “DO” loop without executing the “DO”’s.

  1. DO UNTIL

  2. DO WHILE

  3. ITERATE

  4. Wrong question!
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

ITERATE is a REXX command that skips the remaining instructions in the current DO loop iteration and immediately proceeds to the next iteration. DO UNTIL and DO WHILE are loop control structures that determine when the loop exits, not what skips within an iteration. Option D is clearly invalid.

AI explanation

ITERATE is the REXX instruction that jumps directly to the next iteration of an enclosing DO loop, skipping any remaining statements in the current pass without exiting the loop entirely (like 'continue' in C-like languages). DO UNTIL and DO WHILE are loop-construction clauses that define the loop's exit test, not control-flow statements executed inside the loop body, so they don't skip anything. 'Wrong question!' is a distractor, not a real REXX keyword.
