Keep in mind that the code as presented below doesn't need an explicit 'next' statement - you can include one, but you don't need to in this instance (it's implicit). If you ever have a need to skip to the next record immediately after doing something, though, use next; it's analogous to continue in a for loop.
Fix those minor issues and I think that code will do what you want it to do; that is, assuming that I'm understand correctly what you're trying to do. Restated, that code is:
