exitexitThe exit command is used to immediately terminate a script.
Syntax
exit .
Usage
The exit command can be used anywhere in a script. When it is executed, the script immediately stops processing and returns control to the user or calling procedure.
Example
TOTAL DUE in reverse ;
LAST NAME .
if current item number > 5 then
exit .
This script tells DataEase: (1) List the five members with the highest TOTAL DUE values, and (2) when the fifth record is processed, terminate the script. Note that two end commands are required to fulfill the DQL syntax requirements even though the exit command terminates processing.
The output from this script, arranged in descending order on the TOTAL DUE field, might look as follows:
|
Last Name |
Total Due |
