Breaking out of loop

I have a main script with while loop having for loop inside. Again in for loop based on if condition few functions will be called. So when a function is called for certain condition it should come out from the main for loop and should continue with while loop.
Let me explain with example here:
I am having a ksh as below
Code:
###Functions#####
execute_sqlldr()
{
sqlldr user/pass control=$ctl log=$log data=$file discard=$dis
RC=$?
  if [$RC -eq 0] then 
      echo "loaded successfully"
  elif [$RC -eq 1 -o $RC -eq 3]; then
      echo "sqlldr problem"
  elif [$RC -eq 2]; then
      ??
  fi
return 0
}
 
execute_sp()
{
-----
}
 
###Main Program####
while [1]
do
  for file in `ls /home/usr/*.txt`
  do
      if grep 'Oracle Available'; then
          execute_sqlldr $file
      else 
          echo "database is not available"
      fi
 
      execute_sp $file
     done
done

Here in the main program when execute_sqlldr $file is called and when $RC -eq 2 then my program instead of coming back to for loop in main program and calling the next function execute_sp $file it should come wholly out of for loop and should start from while loop. So with what should i replace ?? with in the function execute_sqlldr().
I hope i am clear here. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Smilie

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
