#EXIT Built-In Variable

Use #EXIT to determine the current state of the exit flag.

Result

#EXIT returns 0 if the EXIT flag is off and -1 if it is on. If the EXIT flag is on, it causes

TACL to exit as soon as its buffer becomes empty.

Considerations

•

When you first log on, #EXIT is initialized to zero.

•

Use #PUSH #EXIT (or PUSH #EXIT) to save a copy of your current setting of the

exit flag.

•

Use #POP #EXIT (or POP #EXIT) to restore the exit flag from the last copy

pushed.

•

Use #SET #EXIT (or SET VARIABLE #EXIT) to turn the exit flag on or off.

The syntax of #SET #EXIT is:

num

is zero to set the flag off, nonzero to set it on.
