PRGM CTL (Control) Instructions
PRGM CTL Menu
To display the
PRGM CTL (program control) menu, press from the program editor only.
These menu items direct the flow of an executing program. They make it easy to repeat or skip a
group of commands during program execution. When you select an item from the menu, the name
is pasted to the cursor location on a command line in the program.
To return to the program editor without selecting an item, press ‘.
