Arguments

option

One of the following options:

DEBUG

Continue execution until the next routine that is compiled in debug mode is entered.

EXIT

Continue execution until the current function or subroutine is exited.

NEXT

Continue execution until the next function or subroutine is entered.

NODEBUG

Cancel debugging and continue execution as if the program had never entered the debugger. This option cancels all breakpoints and watchpoints.

RETURN

Continue execution until a RETURN is executed for the current CALL.

count

Continue execution through the specified number of breakpoints (count), displaying each.

routine

Continues execution until the specified routine is entered.

line

Continues execution until the specified source line in the current routine is reached.

routine line

Continues execution until the specified source line in the specified routine is reached.

.

(period) Continues execution until the current source line in the current routine is reached again.

Discussion

Except for the GO/NODEBUG form, all of the forms of GO automatically continue execution until either the specified condition or one of the following circumstances occurs:

• The program reaches a breakpoint or watchpoint.
• The program chains to another program.
• The program returns control to the monitor.

If you reach a breakpoint before the specified condition is met, the specified condition is canceled.

GO without any arguments merely continues program execution.

Examples

The example below continues program execution until the program enters the next function or subroutine.
