My BASIC Notes

STOP
Abbreviation: S <SHIFT+T>

TYPE: Statement
FORMAT: STOP

Action: The STOP statement is used to halt execution of the current program and return to direct mode. Typing the <RUN/STOP> key on the keyboard has the same effect as a STOP statement. The BASIC error message ?BREAK IN LINE nnnnn is displayed on the screen, followed by READY. The "nnnnn" is the line-number where the STOP occurs. Any open files remain open and all variables are preserved and can be examined. The program can be restarted by using CONT or GOTO statements.

EXAMPLES of STOP Statement:

10 INPUT#1,AA,BB,CC
20 IF AA=BB AND BB=CC THEN STOP
30 STOP
(If the variable AA is -1 and BB is equal to CC then:)
BREAK IN LINE 20
BREAK IN LINE 30 (For any other data values)
