Stop
Halts program execution, and waits for a key press before ending the program.
Syntax
`
Declare Sub Stop ( ByVal retval As Integer = 0 )
`
Usage
`
Stop
`
Parameters
`retval`
Error code returned to system.
Description
Halts the execution of the program and stands by. It's provided as a help to debugging, as it preserves the memory and doesn't close files. For normal program termination the `End` keyword should be used. An optional return value, an integer, can be specified to return an error code to the system. If no return value is given, a value of 0 is automatically returned.
Note: STOP is not implemented properly yet; currently it is the same as System.
Example
`
Print "this text is shown"
Sleep
Stop
Print "this text will never be shown"
