Oracle Error Message

PLS-00376: illegal EXIT/CONTINUE statement; it must appear inside a loop

Reason for the Error

An EXIT or CONTINUE statement was found outside of a loop construct. The EXIT statement is used to exit prematurely from a loop and the CONTINUE statement is used to begin the next iteration of a loop; each must always appear within a loop.

Solution

Either remove the EXIT or CONTINUE statement or place it inside a loop.
