Purpose

Resumes the execution of a MapBasic program (following a Stop statement). You can issue this statement from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.

Syntax

Continue

Restrictions

The Continue statement may only be issued from the MapBasic window; it may not be included as part of a compiled program.

Description

The Continue statement resumes the execution of a MapBasic application which was suspended because of a Stop statement.

You can include Stop statements in a program for debugging purposes. When a MapBasic program encounters a Stop statement, the program is suspended, and the File menu automatically changes to include a Continue Program option instead of a Run option. You can resume the suspended application by choosing File > Continue Program. Typing the Continue statement into the MapBasic window has the same effect as choosing Continue Program.
