A new metadata File, SMPGMB – Program Break Options, and an entry program to populate it,
Use Program Break Options Setup (SME022) to specify how the interrupt and error handling functions work in FACTS. The program is located on the META menu.
There are two options you can set in this program.
Option A indicates this is a report/print/update program that should allow the user to use the break key and cancel the report/print entirely at any time during that program’s execution. This is similar to allowing the old “F4-END” from the 9710 block. This is exclusive, meaning no program allows this unless it is setup here with the A option.
Option X indicates this is any program that should disallow the user from canceling out of an error. This is similar to the old functionality of setting Z8$=”**” in the 9810 routine. All programs allow canceling from an error unless it is setup here with the X option.
Only programs that need to have one of these options set should be added to Program Break Options Setup.
