...
Within a do() or forEach() function, break() causes the do() or forEach() functions to stop immediately and return a _NULL value. $-variables in the environment of the forEach() or do() that were in scope directly before break() was called will still be available after the call to break().
If used outside of a do() or forEach() function then break() will cause the analysis for the Stream Set to stop as though a stop() function was called (but will produce an error message rather than a warning message). No records will be saved for that Stream Set.
If used inside of a do() or forEach() function that is itself nested inside of another do() or forEach() function, break() will only exit the inner (nested) function call. The outer expression will continue to be evaluated in the usual way.

Examples
In this first example, forEach() is used to iterate over a list of manager names until "Wally" is found, at which point we can stop looking. Used in a string-valued field on a stream, this would output the value "Found Wally!" into the stream record in that field.
