If your application will be run in session mode, you can include a subsystem break routine that allows a user running the program interactively to interrupt a task being performed by the program. To provide this capability you must include calls to a number of system intrinsics and supply a special subroutine that will run when subsystem break is invoked.

This chapter describes the process of implementing a subsystem break handler in your program. It includes discussions of the following:

  • Intrinsics required to enable and perform subsystem break processing.

  • Intrinsics that control how subsystem break processing occurs.

  • Sample procedures demonstrating the use of these intrinsics.

  • Additional considerations for allowing subsystem break in a program.
