SET ESCAPE Command

Visual Studio 2005

Determines whether pressing the ESC key interrupts program and command execution.

Copy 

SET ESCAPE ON | OFF

Parameters

ON

(Default) Allows command and program execution to be interrupted when the user presses ESC.

If the user presses ESC during the execution of a command or program while the insertion point is in the Command window, the following message appears:

Copy 
*** INTERRUPTED ***

If the user presses ESC during command or program execution, processing completes at the current program line, and an alert appears with the following three options:

  • (Default) Choose Cancel to immediately stop program execution and return to the Command window.

  • Choose Suspend to pause program execution and return to the Command window. This option is useful for debugging a program. Choosing Resume from the Program menu or issuing RESUME in the Command window restarts the program at the line at which it was paused.

  • Choose Ignore to continue program execution at the line at which it was paused.

OFF

Prevents command and program execution from being interrupted when the user presses ESC.
