I know 'NEXT' won't work but it is to who what I'd like to do.

You are looking for the "continue" statement.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but I think this might lead you to what you want. I can't guarantee that it will run in your context.

program:
# As you wrote it, show1 and show2 always have the same value. I think
# you mean this.
	show1 = '^Show A$' inlist $#show;
	show2 = '^Show B$' inlist $#show;

	output = '';

	for item in $#pair:
		if show1 then
			if item ==  "ABC/XYZ" then
				output = output & ',' & "AAA / BBB"
			else
				output = output & ',' & item
			fi;
# I am not sure exactly where you want the loop to go to the next interation.
# This seems like a reasonable guess
			continue
		fi;

		if show2 then
			if item ==  "KLM/NOP" then
				output = output & ',' & "EEE/ FFF"
			else
				output = output & ',' & item
			fi;
			continue
		fi;

# Put more of the test blocks here, e.g., show3, show4, etc


# If we get here then none of the test blocks were true. Add the item.
		output = output & ',' & item
	rof;
	output = list_sort(list_remove_duplicates(output, ','), 0, ',')
