HP TACL User Manual

Writing an Exception Handler
Developing TACL Routines
107365 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–21
If the user presses the BREAK key while the processing loop is running, TACL raises
the _BREAK exception and reinvokes the routine. The #CASE function executes the
_BREAK case, displays a message, and exits. If the user enters anything other than
ADD or SUB, the #CASE in the loop raises _ERROR, and TACL reinvokes the routine;
in this situation, the #CASE function takes the _ERROR path, displays a message, and
exits. To invoke this routine, load the associated file and enter:
command_processor
