Syntax

GO <entry-name\ | line-num | label-name | RETURN>

entry-name\: is the name of a catalog entry that contains the SCL program to resume executing.
line-num: is the number of the program line to start executing or resume executing.
label: is the program label where execution is to start or resume.
RETURN: starts or resumes execution at the next RETURN statement.

Details

The GO command starts or resumes execution of the active program. By default, program statements execute continuously. However, you can specify one of the optional arguments to establish a temporary breakpoint that stops the program at the corresponding statement.

A temporary breakpoint established through the GO command is ignored when the debugger encounters a breakpoint that was previously set before it encounters the temporary breakpoint. That is, program execution suspends at the breakpoint that was previously set by the BREAK command rather than at the temporary breakpoint.

Examples

Resume executing the program and execute its statements continuously:
```
DEBUG> g
```
Resume program execution and then suspend execution at the next RETURN statement:
```
DEBUG> g return
```
Resume program execution and then suspend execution at the statement in line 104:
```
DEBUG> g 104
```
Resume program execution and then suspend execution at the first statement of the MAIN section:
```
DEBUG> go main
```
Resume program execution and then suspend execution at the statement in line 15 in program TEST2:
```
DEBUG> go test2\15
```
