PAUSE program instruction PAUSE program instruction Syntax PAUSE Function Stop program execution but allow the program to be resumed. Usage Considerations Unlike HALT and STOP, the PAUSE instruction does not force FCLOSE or DETACH on the disk or serial communication logical units. If the program has a file open and you decide not to continue execution of the current program, you should issue a KILL command (with the appropriate task number) to close all files and detach all logical units. Details Causes a BREAK and terminates execution of the application program, displaying the message (PAUSED).
Execution can subsequently be continued by typing proceed and the appropriate task number, and pressing the RETURN key. When debugging a program, a PAUSE instruction can be inserted to stop program execution temporarily while the values of variables are checked. NOTE: Any robot motion in progress when a PAUSE instruction is processed completes normally.
