EXIT Command
EXIT Command
Use the EXIT command to stop the current TACL process or TACL process pair.
Pressing CTRL-y is the same as typing EXIT.
Considerations
•
To use the EXIT command to delete a TACL process on your home system, you
must be logged onto that system. You can, however, use EXIT to delete a TACL
process you started on a remote system without logging onto the remote system.
•
If TACL encounters an EXIT command or an end-of-file (EOF) while executing an
OBEY command file, command execution halts and control returns to the TACL
process in which the OBEY command was entered.
•
If TACL encounters an EXIT command while executing commands from an input
file (such as an IN file named in the command to start a TACL process), and TACL
is not running interactively, the TACL process is deleted. Control returns to the
process from which TACL was started.
•
If you enter an EXIT command from the terminal when both IN and OUT refer to
that terminal (the interactive mode), TACL asks:
Are you sure you want to stop this TACL ( process-spec)?
To stop the current TACL, enter Y, YE, or YES followed by a RETURN. This may make
your terminal unavailable to the system (see the note, below). If you enter any other
character or only a RETURN, TACL ignores the EXIT command.
EXIT
Note. If you delete your last TACL process, you cannot communicate with the system from
your terminal. You can, however, use another terminal to start a new TACL process on your
terminal. (See the syntax description for the TACL Program
on page 8-227.)
