VMS Help PASCAL, Declaration Section, Module Finalization *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
The TO END DO section allows you to specify a statement, in a module, to be executed after the executable section of the main program. Syntax: TO END DO statement; The 'statement' is a Compaq Pascal statement. The TO END DO section can only appear in modules, can only appear once in a module, and must appear as the last section in the declaration section (if appearing together, the TO BEGIN DO section must precede the TO END DO section at the end of the declaration section). Example: MODULE File_Output; VAR Out_File : TEXT; t : TIMESTAMP; PROCEDURE Test(...); {Executable section...} TO BEGIN DO OPEN( Out_File, 'foo.dat' ); END; TO END DO BEGIN GETTIMESTAMP( t ); WRITELN( 'foo.dat closed at', TIME( t ) ); CLOSE( Out_File ); END; END. This TO END DO section contains statements that print the file name and closing time.
