STOP
Syntax |
STOP |
Location |
QL ROM, Toolkit II |
This command forces an interpreted program to be terminated at the position where STOP appears in the listing. The program can then be continued (provided that the message ‘PROC/FN cleared’ has not appeared) by using the command CONTINUE. Compiled programs terminate and remove themselves when STOP is encountered.
Example
This program will print 1 and 2 to channel #1 and stop at line 120. If it runs under the interpreter, CONTINUE will restart at line 130 (after STOP) and print 3 and 4. RETRY does not continue here because it tries to re-run line 120 and stops again.
100 PRINT 1
110 PRINT 2
120 STOP
130 PRINT 3
140 PRINT 4
NOTE
If Toolkit II is installed, STOP clears WHEN ERRor definitions.
