The QUIT command is simlar to the EXIT command, except that QUIT
does not cause your program to execute and, therefore, does not
execute any application-declared exit handlers in your program.
Ending a Debugging Session:
To end a debugging session, enter the QUIT command at the
debugger prompt without specifying any parameters. This causes
orderly termination of the session: the debugger exit handler
is executed (closing log files, restoring the screen and keypad
states, and so on), and control is returned to DCL level. You
cannot then continue to debug your program by entering the DCL
command DEBUG or CONTINUE (you must restart the debugger).
Using the QUIT Command in Command Procedures and DO Clauses:
When the debugger executes a QUIT command (without any
parameters) in a command procedure, control returns to the
command stream that invoked the command procedure. A command
stream can be the terminal, an outer (containing) command
procedure, or a DO clause in a command or screen display
definition. For example, if the command procedure was invoked
from within a DO clause, control returns to that DO clause, where
the debugger executes the next command (if any remain in the
command sequence).
When the debugger executes a QUIT command (without any
parameters) in a DO clause, it ignores any remaining commands
in that clause and displays its prompt.
Terminating Specified Processes:
If you are debugging a multiprocess program, you can use the
QUIT command to terminate specified processes without ending
the debugging session. The same techniques and behavior apply,
whether you enter the QUIT command at the prompt or use it within
a command procedure or DO clause.
To terminate one or more processes, enter the QUIT command,
specifying these processes as parameters. This causes orderly
termination of the images in these processes without executing
any application-declared exit handlers associated with these
images. Subsequently, the specified processes are no longer
identified in a SHOW PROCESS/ALL display.
In contrast to the EXIT command, the QUIT command does not cause
any process to start execution.
