Stop Statement


Stop

You can place Stop statements anywhere in procedures to suspend execution. Using the Stop statement is similar to setting a breakpoint in the code.

The Stop statement suspends execution, but it does not close any files or clear any variables.

Note
The Stop statement has no effect unless the script is being debugged.

This example uses the Stop statement to suspend execution for each iteration through the For...Next loop.

Note
To run this example, you must have a script debugger installed and the script must run in debug mode. For more information, search MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com) for the title "Introducing Microsoft Script Debugger"
