What it says is perfectly true: 'break' is only meaningful inside a 'for', 'while', or 'until' loop. You can't use it to break a loop outside of your function.
It shouldn't have accepted that before, and probably wasn't doing quite exactly what you planned. You should use return codes instead, to inform whatever's calling keyboard whether it succeeded or failed. That will let you ditch the 'status' variables as well.
Your loop should instead look something like
And the function would be

Hello,
basically what this script is supposed to do is showing a list of hosts that is given a number, that you will be able to choose from a list.
A check is made to verify that the chosen number is within the array and this is where things go bad and I don't know why, bizarre.

Boy oh boy, with only a MONO mic input to use AudioScope gets much more difficult when the ALTDC board is included.
It needs, so far, two hits at the MIC input with a single hit at the HEADPHONE audio output.
The first at the highest practical resolution for the AC component and the second... (0 Replies)

break
break(1) User Commands break(1)NAME
break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until loop
SYNOPSIS
sh
break [n]
continue [n]
csh
break
continue
ksh
*break [n]
*continue [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at the n-th enclosing loop.
csh
The break utility resumes execution after the end of the nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining commands on the current
line are executed. This allows multilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands, all on one line.
The continue utility continues execution of the next iteration of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop.
ksh
The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop, if any. If n is specified, then break n levels. If n is
greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified then resume at the n-
th enclosed loop. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and also that word splitting and file name genera-
tion are not performed.
