Atari 800 Basic Reference Manual

RUN (RU.)
STOP (STO.)
Format: RUN [filespec]
Examples: RUN
RUN
"D:MENU"
This command causes the computer to begin executing a program. If no filespec
is specified,
the current RAM-resident program begins execution. If a filespec is
included, the computer retrieves the specified, tokenized program from the
specified file and executes it.
All variables are set to zero and all open files and peripherals are closed. All ar-
rays, strings, and matrices are eliminated and all sounds are turned off. Unless
the TRAP command is used, an error message is displayed if any error is
detected during execution and the program halts.
RUN
can be used in Deferred mode.
Examples:
19 PRINT
11
0VER At() OJ..IER AGAIN."

Type RUN and press l;ljili;lli. To end, pressl:!dy.i:i.
To begin program execution at a point other than the first line number, type
GOTO followed by the specific line number, then pressl;liiili;!li,
Format: STOP
Example: 100 STOP
When the STOP command is executed in a program, BASIC displays the
message STOPPED AT LINE ___ , terminates program execution, and
returns to Direct mode. The STOP command does not close files or turn off
sounds, so the program can be resumed by typing CONT l;l§iii;lll.
