Issue a break to the channel

 

 

USupported on UNIX

 

xcall BREAK(channel)

Arguments

channel

The expression that contains the Synergy DBL channel opened to a terminal or character device. (n)

Discussion

The BREAK subroutine causes a “break” to be issued on the device specified by channel. A break is typically a zero state on the transmission line for 0.233 seconds.

If channel is not opened to a terminal or character device, an “Invalid operation for file type” error ($ERR_FILOPT) is generated.
