RESUME Statement

Purpose:

To continue program execution after an error-recovery procedure has been  performed.

Syntax:

RESUME
RESUME 0
RESUME NEXT
RESUME line number

Comments:

Any one of the four formats shown above may be used, depending upon where execution is to resume:

SyntaxResult
RESUME or RESUME 0 Execution resumes at the statement that caused an error.
RESUME NEXT Execution resumes at the statement immediately following the one that caused an error.
RESUME line number Execution resumes at the specified line number.

A RESUME statement that is not in an error trapping routine causes a "RESUME without error" message to be printed.

Examples:

10 ON ERROR GOTO 900
.
.
.
900 IF (ERR=230) AND (ERL=90) THEN PRINT "TRY AGAIN": RESUME 80
.
.
.

If an error occurs after line 10 is executed, the action indicated in line 900 is taken and the program continues at line 80.
