It allows you to distinguish between exiting the loop via a break and
exiting the loop normally.
eg:

Hi guys,
Awhile back, I believe I saw a cookbook recipe for splitting and
reassembling text/binary files.
Does anyone know where this or something similar can be found?
I am working on a file transfer mechanism via MQSeries and breaking
