BREAK statement [message #91343]

Hi I typed the following:

A = sqrt(Ax^2 + Ay^2)

nozero = where(A ne 0, cnt)
if cnt eq 0 then break

I got the following error:
BREAK must be enclosed within a loop (FOR, WHILE, REPEAT), CASE, or SWITCH statement.

The error is very clear. I am not sure if the following is equivalent

A = sqrt(Ax^2 + Ay^2)

nozero = where(A ne 0, cnt)
if cnt eq 0 then return

Using the return instead of break because that part of code does not enclosed within a loop. If not so, can anyone suggest a statement doing the same thing as BREAK without being enclosed within a loop?
