HP RPG/XL Utilities-Part 2 RISE

EXIT 

EXIT terminates execution of RISE.

Form 

     E[XIT] [N[OW]]

Parameter Explanation 

N[OW]            Exit immediately without keeping the work file and with
                 safety prompts disabled.  If you are directly editing
                 your file, using the FILE command, the EXIT command will
                 close the file, keeping your changes.  If the file being
                 edited is a copy of the original, initiated by the TEXT
                 or ADD commands, the EXIT command will not terminate
                 RISE unless a KEEP command is given to protect your
                 recent changes.  The NOW parameter allows you to EXIT
                 immediately and discards any changes you may have made
                 to the file.

                 If you choose not to use the "NOW" parameter, RISE will
                 return a message asking if it is all right to clear the
                 work file upon termination.  If you respond with
                 "Y[ES]", it will clear the file and exit.  If you
                 respond with "N[O]", it will cancel the command so that
                 you can perform a KEEP first if you wish.

Purpose 

The EXIT command terminates the execution of RISE, returning control to
MPE.

Execution mode:  Line or Block.

Examples 

The following are legal abbreviations which may be used with the EXIT
command and its parameters:

EXI NOW          Exit immediately without the safety prompts.

E N              Exit immediately without the safety prompts.

E                Exit--safety prompts may be displayed on the screen.

In the example, a misspelling of EXIT causes an error message to be
displayed (1).  EXIT is then entered correctly, and a safety prompt
reminds the user that the KEEP command has not been entered and asks if
clearing the work file is acceptable.  The user responds negatively to
the prompt, and the command is cancelled (2).

An unacceptable parameter--MAYBE--produces another error (3).  An illegal
special character is introduced between EXIT and the NOW parameter, with
another error resulting (4).

Finally, EXIT NOW is entered, and the command is completed with the
execution message displayed (5).  The colon is MPE's prompt.
