START INTERACT

Syntax:

%START INTERACT

Function:

The command %START INTERACT is written in a specification (FSP) file. When it is encountered, FPT stops processing FSP input. It reads and analyses the Fortran input files and enters interactive mode. FPT then continues to read the FSP file as an interactive command file. The %START INTERACT command must therefore be written in the last FSP file to be processed.

The command may not be used interactively.

Interactive processing is normally requested by the command %INTERACTIVE or %I . %START INTERACT is used only in the special case where FSP and interactive command file input are both written in the same file.

Where to use this command:

Operating system command line	No
Configuration file, config.fsp	No
Specification (FSP) files, *.fsp	Yes
Interactively, to FPT> prompt:	No
Interactive command files	No
Embedded in the Fortran code	No

Examples:

The following text is taken from the demonstration file qa_dem.fsp.

! Set the page length to keep error messages intact.
%page length = 22
! Exit from FSP processing and start INTERACT
