Re: ON-BREAK Question

["Huber, Robert" <RHuber@IMF.ORG>]

Chris,
Not to be argumentative, but in this specific case I would to disagree and
state that it would be reasonable for the language to provide the
information. The sub-process that performs the ON-BREAK processing certainly
knows what has happened and could quite easily inform the executing program
what has happened with a flag or some such.

Thanks for getting back,
Robert

It's not the job of the language to provide a semaphore for you, so you do
need to make your own sempahore or global variable to catch the break.

Just create a variable $broken and move the procedure name to it if it isn't
null.
Make sure when you process the final break, you reset the variable to null.
