The STOP condition occurs when a STOP statement is executed or when a block statement contains the STOP-AFTER phrase and the time-limit is exceeded. The AVM also automatically raises the STOP condition when an unrecoverable system error occurs; for example, when a database connection is lost or a RUN statement cannot find a procedure file.
A user can raise the STOP condition by pressing the key mapped to the STOP key while input is enabled (or anytime in a character interface). This STOP key is usually mapped as follows:
