STOP
|
This document covers the following topics:
The STOP statement is used to terminate the execution
of a program and return to the command input prompt.
One or more STOP statements may be inserted anywhere
within a Natural program.
The STOP statement will terminate the execution of the
program immediately. Independent of the positioning of a STOP
statement in a subroutine, any end-page condition specified in the main program
will be invoked for final end-page processing during execution of the
STOP statement.
The STOP statement behaves in the same way as the
ESCAPE
ROUTINE statement during method execution. Method execution
is terminated immediately without producing any return vale.
For Natural RPC: See Notes on Natural Statements on the Server in the Natural RPC (Remote Procedure Call) documentation.
