STOP an Interactive Report

Syntax:

STOP STOP ALL STOP ALIGNMENT CHECK STOP ARGUMENT CHECK etc.

Function:

When FPT is used interactively, users may suspend the current activity and start another. For example, an argument check might be suspended to search for a particular variable, and then resumed. The commands STOP and CONTINUE are used to control activities in this way.

STOP issued to the Page> prompt stops output to the user's screen and suspends the current activity. fpt returns to the FPT> prompt. The suspended process may be resumed by the CONTINUE command.

The commands STOP ARGUMENT CHECK, STOP NAME CHECK etc. terminate the specified process, and it will not restart. STOP ALL, terminates all active processes. Most processes with long reports may be terminated in this way.

STOP issued without arguments to the FPT> prompt has no effect. This prevents accidental termination of a process.
