[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] How to leave out of FOR EACH statement in Progress?

[Smokus]

I am struggling with getting only first 2 records from a table via FOR EACH. My goal is to read only first 2 records from a table, and save one field value to the variables.

Let's say I have the table MyTable with fields PartNr, CreationDate, Company, ID.

My FOR EACH statement would look like this:

FOR EACH MyTable
   WHERE MyTable.Company = "TestCompany"
      AND MyTable.CreationDate >= 01.01.2021
   NO-LOCK:
   
END.

That FOR EACH statement would find 15 records for example. I however only need the first two. I would like to store the PartNr of the first record in a variable, and the PartNr of the second record in another variable.

After that the FOR EACH statement should end.

I have tried using FIND FIRST as well, but I don't know how to get the second record then.

I am pretty much looking for a python equivalent of break keyword when using loops.

Any help is much appreciated.
