SSETBREAK()
Sets and checks the DOS BREAK switch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SSETBREAK([<lNewSwitch>]) --> lOldSwitch
Argument
<lNewSwitch> Designates the new setting for the DOS BREAK switch.
Returns
SSETBREAK() returns the current BREAK setting when no parameter is
specified; otherwise, it returns the previous setting.
Description
Normally, DOS only checks screen and keyboard functions for the
Ctrl-Break key combination. If you want to check more frequently
(i.e., during disk operations), use SSETBREAK() to turn on the BREAK
switch.
Note
. You can also use BREAK= <ON|OFF> to set BREAK in DOS
Example
Activate BREAK and save the old status:
lOld_Break := SSETBREAK(.T.)
