Using the Break Key on Workstations
Use the Break key to perform the following functions:
|
Function |
Result |
|
Single-break |
Interrupt BTEQ |
|
Double-break |
Abort the previous request |
|
Triple-break |
Terminate BTEQ |
For more information about aborting BTEQ requests, refer to “ABORT” on page 131.
The break function has the following syntax:
where
<break> represents pressing the CTRL+C keys on your workstation keyboard.
Single-Break
The single-break function interrupts BTEQ while it is processing a previous request. BTEQ displays:
BREAK Received. Input command:
Double-Break
At the input command prompt, either press the Break key again (the double-break function), or enter CONTINUE or ABORT.
Enter CONTINUE to recover from the interrupt and resume with BTEQ as if the interrupt never occurred.
Either enter ABORT or press the Break key again to abort the previous request.
Triple Break
Enter a third break to terminate BTEQ. Alternatively, entering HX after the first break also terminates BTEQ.
Note: The above behavior is for console BTEQ only. Interrupt and Abort functions are available in BTEQWIN on the Sessions menu; CTRL+C is undefined in BTEQWIN.
