| Format | STOP |
| Description | Use the STOP
directive to terminate the currently running program. If
the current program is a subprogram, then control is
immediately passed back to the CALLing
program. Otherwise all open files are closed, a RESET
operation is performed, and the next location counter is
set to the start of the program. If an application is invoked directly by an operating system command that specifies a lead program, then the STOP directive performs the function of a QUIT and automatically returns the user to the operating system. If the application is RUN from Command mode, ProvideX returns to Command mode. When you use the STOP directive in a compound statement, it must be the final directive. (Exception: A remark can follow the STOP directive.) |
