Question

for (int i = 0; i<10; i++)
{ 
  //do some validation for record length

  //if it is not valid

  continue; // goes to the next iteration in for loop for 'i'

  for (int j = 0; j<5; j+=2)    
  {

     //do some more validation for individual record

     //if it is not valid

Here it should go to the next i if i use continue. Here it will go to the next j
Can anyone please let me know how to do this?

You need to specifically test for a flag in the outer loop if there is something after the inner loop:

for(some_outer_vars){
  bool should_skip = false;
  // ...
  for(some_inner_vars){
    // ...
    if(your_condition){
      should_skip = true;
      break;
    }
  }
  if(should_skip)
    continue;
  // ...
}
