ASTOP

Draft MDC Standard

☞

8.2.4 ASTOp

ASTO[P] postcond │
│
│		 [ SP ]
SP ablockargument		 │
│
│
Editor’s note:
The above definition allows for at most one ablockargument.
Should it not be:
    ASTO[P] postcond │
│
│		 [ SP ]
SP L ablockargument		 │
│
│

ASTOp disables asynchronous event processing for all or selected event classes. The three forms of ASTOp are given the following names:

   a) L evclass Selective ASTOp
b) (L evclass) Exclusive ASTOp
c) Empty argument list: ASTOp All

In the Selective ASTOp, the named event classes are disabled for asynchronous event processing as described below. In the Exclusive ASTOp, all event classes except the named event classes are disabled for asynchronous event processing as described below. In the ASTOp All, all event classes are disabled for asynchronous event processing as described below.

When asynchronous event processing is disabled for a given event class, events of that class have no effect on the process. Event classes are disabled by ASTOp only for the process executing the ASTOp command. It is not an error to disable an event class which is already disabled.
