Substituting break by

for example I have this:

for each product where prod-name begins "a":
display prod-name pack skip.
end.

I wanted to put in a conditional "break by" using a string like so:

def var by-name as char init "break by prod-name".

for each product where prod-name begins "a" by-name:
display prod-name pack skip.
end.

this failed.

Then I tried it with a logical like so:

def var by-name as log init no.

for each product where prod-name begins "a"
if by-name = no then break by pack
else break by prod-name:
display prod-name pack skip.
end.

This also failed. Is there a way of doing this without using a .i file?

Thanks Martin
