MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

RESUME 

Resumes execution of a suspended operation.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

     RESUME

Parameters 

None.

Operation Notes 

After a program or MPE/iX command operation is suspended by pressing
Break or by using the CAUSEBREAK intrinsic, the RESUME command resumes
execution of the operation at the point where the execution was
suspended.  Note that the RESUME command is legitimate only during a
BREAK. Many MPE/iX commands are aborted rather than suspended by a BREAK,
and thus cannot be resumed.

If, instead of RESUME, you enter another program command (such as EDITOR,
FTNXL, or RUN) or one of the nonprogram commands (HELLO or BYE), the
command interpreter prints the following message on your terminal:
ABORT? (YES/NO). If you respond YES to the ABORT? message, the command
interpreter aborts the current (suspended) program and executes the
command.

If you respond NO to the ABORT? message, the command interpreter prints
the message COMMAND NOT ALLOWED IN BREAK and prompts you for another
command.  If you now enter RESUME at the prompt, the suspended program
continues at the point where it was interrupted.  If you had logged on
using the PARM= option of HELLO to create a process with PARM=1 (or 3),
and then have the occasion to respond  YES to an ABORT? message, MPE/iX
aborts the command process and logs you off immediately.

Use 

This command may be issued only while in BREAK. It may not be used from a
session (other than while in BREAK mode), job, or program.  Pressing
Break has no effect on this command.

Example 

To continue a suspended program at the point of interruption, enter:

      RESUME 
     READ PENDING
     Return
