The Stop Execution and Signal the Condition routine generates a
signal that indicates that an exception condition has occurred in
your program. Exception conditions signaled by LIB$STOP cannot be
continued from the point of the signal.
Format
LIB$STOP condition-value [,number-of-arguments]
[,FAO-argument...]
LIB$STOP generates a signal and stops execution of the calling
program. No condition values are returned.
condition-value
OpenVMS usage:cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
OpenVMS 32-bit condition value. The condition-value argument is
an unsigned longword that contains this condition value.
The OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual explains the format of a
condition value.
number-of-arguments
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword integer (signed)
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Number of FAO arguments associated with condition-value. The
optional number-of-arguments argument is a signed longword
integer that contains this number. If omitted or specified as
zero, no FAO arguments follow.
FAO-argument
OpenVMS usage:varying_arg
type: unspecified
access: read only
mechanism: by value
Optional FAO (formatted ASCII output) argument that is associated
with the specified condition value.
The OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual explains the message
format.
