nested loop

I have two do loops. When I break of the inner loop it doesn't go back to the outer loop but exit the program.

Please post your code. Also, post which shell and OS you are using.

Korn shell on a HP but the code will also run on AIX.
The code is very big but here is the piece that is not working

Code:
if [ "${ALERT}" ]
then
  set -x
  desc="performing maintenance on the Oracle alerts logs."
  echo "\n${desc}\n" >> ${logfile}

  export dblist=$(grep -v "#" ${oratab} | awk -F: '{print $1}')
  echo "${dblist}" | while read db
  do
    while true
    do
      export sid=${db}
      alertlog="alert_${sid}.log"
      echo "\nprocessing ${alertlog}." >> ${logfile}
      orauser=${admin}/${sid}/.orauser_${sid}
      if test ! -r "${orauser}"
      then
        errmsg=${main}.${today}.msg
        echo "unable to read ${orauser}" > ${errmsg}
        send_message ${maillist} ${errmsg}
        echo "\nunable to read ${orauser}." >> ${logfile}
        break
      fi
      . ${admin}/${sid}/.orauser_${sid}
      echo "\nsql query for background_dump_desc from ${sid}." >> ${logfile}
      sqlcmd=${workdir}/${main}.alertlog.${today}.sql
      sqllog=${workdir}/${main}.alertlog.${today}.log
      rm -f ${sqlcmd} ${sqllog}

I would like to see printing dblist after the following line
to see what it is printing and whether dblist is just a single line.

Code:
 export dblist=$(grep -v "#" ${oratab} | awk -F: '{print $1}')


Also print some log between those 2 'done' statements and see whether it is printed or not.

done
