CONT
Syntax
CONT
Examples
• The CONT instruction resumes the program that is being stopped.
Description
• The program execution resumes from the next line after it stopped.
• If it was stopped in the wait state of the input by the INPUT instruction, the execution
resumes after displaying a question mark (?) again.
• Normally, CONT is used with the STOP instruction for debugging. When the program
execution stops, the intermediate results can be checked and modified in the direct mode.
The program execution can resume by the CONT or GOTO instruction.
• A "Can't continue" error occurs if the CONT instruction is executed after the program is
modified.
For details on debugging, see Chapter 10.
When the CONT instruction is used to restart a program that terminated by the END
instruction at the middle of the program, the execution starts from the instruction of the next
line number.
