To exit the loop use the break command. I'd also check for illegal input. With some other minor changes your code could be rewritten to:
Code:
find /opt/et/WAS/apps/8.0 -name "HostIntegration.properties" -o -name "HostSocket.properties" -o -name "environment.properties" 2>/dev/null | awk -F '[//]' '{print $4}'|awk '!x[$0]++' >/home/cbadmin/file1.txt
cd /home/cbadmin/
PS3='Please enter a number from list of applications==>:'
select var1 in `cat /home/cbadmin/file1.txt`
do
   if [ $var1 != "" ]; then
      echo "The selected app from the list is: $var1" 
      break
   else
      echo "Illegal selection."
   fi
done
/usr/local/bin/pbrun /opt/et/WAS/apps/8.0/q/ET_scripts/chgperm.sh unlock $var1
