How to Abort Compilation When Using PWB

ID: Q60500

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.1
  • Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, versions 1.0, 1.1
This article discusses how to a compile that is in progress when using the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB).

  • Under MS-DOS (or the OS/2 3.x compatibility box), use CTRL+C to abort.


  • Under OS/2, use "Arg Meta Compile" to abort a compilation taking place in the background.

    The default keystrokes for Arg Meta Compile are ALT+A F9 CTRL+F3.


  • You can also create a macro and assign it to a key to abort the compile process. Below is a sample macro that you could place in your TOOLS.INI file under the [pwb] tag. 
    
   [pwb]
   Abort:=Arg Meta Compile
   Abort:Ctrl+F5


NOTE: In either OS/2 or MS-DOS, the ESC key will not abort a compilation.
