OK. I think I understand what you are trying to do. I would suggest
using the <for> task, rather than the <foreach> task, because the <for>
task has a keepgiong attribute.
Here is a solution that works for me.
<target name="looptest">
<for list="${name.list}" param="sourceappname" keepgoing="true">
<sequential>
<antcall target="call-second" inheritall="true">
<param name="sourceappname.a" value="@{sourceappname}"/>
</antcall>
</sequential>
</for>
</target>
<target name="call-second">
<input message="Do you want to deploy ${sourceappname.a}?"
validargs="y,n" addproperty="user.selection"/>
<condition property="do.abort">
<equals arg1="n" arg2="${user.selection}"/>
</condition>
<fail if="do.abort"> ******* You have chosen not to deploy
${sourceappname.a}. *****</fail>
<echo>Deploying ${sourceappname.a}</echo>
<!-- tasks to deploy the app -->
</target>
