Stops Code Execution in Development
Pressing the SK_BREAK key now immediately halts the execution of 4GL when running in the development environment. This is useful when the application is caught in an infinite code loop due to a logic error. On most keyboards, this SK_BREAK speed key defaults to the Pause/Break key.
When you press Pause/Break, the program stops executing, and control returns to the debugger window. If the debugger window is not open, the debugger starts. Control returns to the next 4GL source statement in the execution path after the currently executing statement finishes.
