Continue

Syntax

Continue

Parameters

None.

Description

Forces a listing file to continue processing subsequent commands after a Selected command has been executed.

Remarks

By default, processing stops after a Selected command. Continue is essential in workflows where an action must be taken after a field is marked by the Selected command, such as sending an email or text message.

warning

This should be used with caution; if the rest of the listing file depends on the select, it is not advisable to use Continue.

Examples

select              sent
EQ
selected            sent
continue
email to            email
