QUIT functionality changed from V6 to v7/8
INTRODUCTION:
=============
With many customer's moving from v6 to v8 this issue may come up
again. QUIT in Version 6 code run from the procedure editor would
take you to the operating system. In version 7 and 8 it returns you
to the tool you ran from or the operating system.
If the code that contains the quit is executed from the command line
the functionality appears the same. It is only when it is executed
from a tool such as the procedure editor that you run into this
problem.
This change took place in 7.1A of the product to resolve an issue of
cleaning up temp files (bug 92-05-04-080)
There is no workaround to get the behavior of V6, when you return to
the procedure editor after a quit in v7, the user needs to choose file
-> exit to get out of the editor.
EXAMPLE:
========
define var x as int.
do i = 1 to 3.
message i view-as alert-box.
if i = 2 then quit.
end.
Run this from the procedure editor in V6 and you return to the operati
ng system.
Run this from the procedure editor in v7 and you return to the editor.
