Will the following work?
#<named_param> = 1
o101 while [#<named_param> LT 2]
o102 if [some condition]
#<named_param>=3 (exit the loop)
o102 elseif [some other condition]
(do something and reloop)
o102 else
(do nothing and reloop)
o102 endif
o101 endwhile
Then you are giving a valid way out of the loop, allowing something to
happen while still in the loop and providing a way to keep looping
without doing anything.
