SYNTAX

TERMINATE [PROCEDURE | LOOP]

NOTES

• The TERMINATE command does the following:

  1. Closes all links opened in the script, except in an overlay script.
  2. Exits the script. Primary and continuation scripts return to the Dictionary-IV menu. Public or overlay scripts return control to the scripts that invoked them.

• The TERMINATE LOOP command does the following:

  Passes control to the command that follows the ENDLOOP command. TERMINATE LOOP is only valid in a DO LOOP command.

• The TERMINATE PROCEDURE command does the following:

  Returns control to the exit point of the current procedure. When used in a DO LOOP command, the current iteration of the loop is terminated and the controlling condition of the loop is evaluated.
