Try the "exit" statement.

loop
  sequence of statements 1;
     exit when <boolean condition>
  sequence of statements 2;
end loop;

The exit statment will cause the program execution to continue
at the next statement outside of the loop.  The second block of
statements will not be executed once the boolean condition is
met.
