PAUSE PROCESS

version 3

PAUSE PROCESS (process)

PAUSE PROCESS suspends the execution of process until it is reactivated by the RESUME PROCESS command. During this period, process does not take any time on your machine. Even though a process may be paused, the process is still in memory.

If process is already paused, PAUSE PROCESS does nothing. If the process has been delayed using the DELAY PROCESS command, the process is paused. RESUME PROCESS resumes the process immediately.

While process execution is suspended, the windows belonging to this process are not enterable. In this case, to avoid confusing the user, consider hiding the process. If process does not exist, the command does nothing.

Warning: Use PAUSE PROCESS only in processes that you have started. PAUSE PROCESS will not affect the original User/Custom Menus process.

Note: You cannot use this command to assign a stored procedure on the server machine from a client machine (process<0).

DELAY PROCESS, HIDE PROCESS, RESUME PROCESS.
