STOP statement
Syntax: STOP
Discussion: The STOP statement terminates a program and runs the QMONITOR program. There can be more than one STOP statement in a program.
Application note: The most common way to terminate a program is to run another program, such as a menu program, via the RUN statement.
The STOP statement is a runtime statement, as opposed to the END statement which is a compile-time statement indicating the physical end of the source program.
Example:
READ (1,400) EXCP=1000 . . . 1000 IF EXCP NE 33 STOP
In this example, the STOP statement is used in the exception routine at statement-label 1000. In this case, if the system variable EXCP does not equal 33 (which indicates that a record is extracted by another user), the program will stop executing.
