READKILL()
Return, and optionally set, whether the current READ should be exited
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
READKILL([<lKillRead>]) --> lCurrentSetting
Arguments
<lKillRead> sets the READKILL() flag. A value of true (.T.)
indicates that the current read should be terminated, and a value of
false (.F.) indicates that it should not.
Returns
READKILL() returns the current setting as a logical value.
Description
READKILL() is a Get system function that lets you control whether or not
to terminate the current READ.
Unless directly manipulated, READKILL() returns true (.T.) after you
issue a CLEAR GETS (see the CLEAR GETS entry ) for the current READ;
otherwise, it returns false (.F.).
By accessing the function directly, however, you can control the
READKILL() flag with its function argument and use it to create new READ
layers.
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB, source file is Getsys.prg.
