program pause
command
Syntax
- program pause <keyword>
Pause command processing.
Note
As with all program commands, use of the command word program is optional; program pause and pause are both valid.
If no options are specified, then processing of a data file will stop at the point where the program.pause command is encountered, and the program will enter interactive-command mode, in which commands can be typed on the keyboard at the command prompt in the Console Pane. When the
program continue
command is typed, processing of the data file will resume.The following options are also available.
- key
Processing of the data file will stop at the point where the program.pause command was encountered, and the program will wait for the user to press a key. When any key (except Shift + Esc) is pressed, processing of the data file will resume. If Shift + Esc is pressed, all processing will be aborted (including the processing of any data files that had been paused), and the program will enter interactive-command mode.
- time f
If the optional keyword time is specified, processing of the data file will stop for f seconds and then resume. If Shift + Esc is pressed before f seconds have elapsed, all processing will be aborted (including the processing of any data files that had been paused), and the program will enter interactive-command mode. If the space bar is pressed, processing of the data file will continue.
