How To Exit My Outer Cursor Correctly

Using nested cursors, I want to exit the outer cursor, all inner cursors
have been closed.

??Where do I add the...
----------
if @c1 > 1000
break
else
continue
----------

Do I add it at the beginning of my cursor????
--------- begin ----------
open cur
fetch next... from into....
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
if @c1 > 1000
break
else
continue

open cur

fetch next.... from into....

do some business nested inner cursors.....
set @c1 = @c1 + 1 -- increment the counter...
fetch next... from into....
end
close cur
deallocate cur
--------- end ----------
Will the 'break' take be to my end?

TIA
