STOP
grifo^®
ITALIAN TECHNOLOGY
STATEMENT:
STOP
ACTION:
This statement causes program execution to stop. A message is sent to the console terminal,
indicating the point in the program where the stop occurs.
EXAMPLE:
20 STOP
REMARKS:
STOP is generally used during program development to provide temporary breakpoints at known
spots during the execution of the program. Execution of a STOP returns the computer to direct mode,
at time which LET and PRINT may be used as direct statements in ordr to change and examine,
respectively, the values of variables within the program.
If CONT is used to resume program execution after STOP, any variables modified in direct mode
during the interrruption will retain the new values as the program resues.
Program text may also be listed during the breakpoint provided by STOP, but, if you intend to
continue with the program using the CONT command, you must be careful to not change any of the
program text (edit, insert, or delete program lines) during the interim. If you do, CONT will not work,
and you wil forced to RUN the program alla over again.
ERROR MESSAGES:
None.
