Identifier: stepping

Type

numeric

Description

The state of the macro stepping facility. Changing the value of stepping will turn stepping on or off. At system startup stepping is 0 (off).

During macro execution, when stepping is on, a prompt is given before the execution of each command. The user may then choose how to proceed by typing a single character. The available options are as follows:

• A - Abort the macro.

• B - Execute a break, e.g. out of a loop.

• C - Continue execution.

• I - Interrupt the macro for keyboard commands.

• N - Execute the next command (typically an exec) with stepping off.

• O - Turn stepping off and continue execution.

• P - Execute a repoll.

• Q - Abort the macro.

• S - Skip the command.
