This command is active only while reading from a macro file or in
interactive mode inside a block structure (do-loops and/or if's).
The current macro file is interupted and you can type commands as in the normal input mode. You can use the whole range of PROG commands, including the '@' macro command. The 'stop' commands provides a convenient mode to debug a macro by setting a break point at which you can check the value of variables or set new values, run an additional macro etc.
To continue execution of the macro or to continue with the normal PROG mode, use the ==> 'continue' command.
If included in a block structure statement (do-loops and/or if's) in both, macro and interactive mode, the program continues reading all statements that belong to the block structure. During execution of the structure, PROG interupts this execution if it encounters a 'stop' command. You can issue any PROG command except further do or if commands.
To continue execution of the structure or to continue with the normal PROG mode, use the ==> 'continue' command.
