If you do not have to use CONTINUE, then:
SCAN it is faster, and for a single field LOOKUP() it is 100% faster
YOU CAN CHANGE

LOCATE XXXX
IF FOUND()
   YYYY
ENDIF

WITH

SCAN XXXX
   YYYYY
   EXIT
ENDSCAN
* ATTENTION, ENDSCAN restore the SCAN workarea

OR

SCAN XXXX
  EXIT
ENSCAN
IF !EOF()
 YYYY
ENDIF

or for a single field

IF LOOKUP() AND !EOF()
  YYYY
ENDIF
