Exclude For Next loop

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to configure some nested loops so that based upon user preference a user can choose not to 'run' a loop. I am posting up a simple example in case in the hopes that there is a simple answer.

I imagine I could use a variable once inside the loop to exitloop, but I was hoping for syntax that would allow me to completely prevent the loop from running.

In this example I tried using a simple if...then statement but it doesn't work.

Thank you

$includeloop2 = 0

for $loop1 = 1 to 3
    if $includeloop2 = 1 then for $loop2 = 1 to 3
        for $loop3 = 1 to 3
        Next
    Next
