ABORT(3F)                                                            ABORT(3F)



NAME
       abort - abnormal termination

SYNOPSIS
       subroutine abort (string)
       character*(*) string

DESCRIPTION
       _A_b_o_r_t  cleans  up  the  I/O  buffers and then terminates execution.  If
       _s_t_r_i_n_g  is  given,  it  is  written  to  logical  unit  0  preceded  by
       ‘‘abort:’’.

       If  the  −−g flag was specified during loading, then execution is termi‐
       nated by calling _a_b_o_r_t (3) which aborts producing a _c_o_r_e  file  in  the
       current  directory.   If  -g  was  not  specified  while  loading, then
       _*_*_* _E_x_e_c_u_t_i_o_n _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_e_d is written on logical unit 0 and execution  is
       terminated.

       If the _f_7_7__d_u_m_p__f_l_a_g environment variable has been set to a value which
       begins with _y, _a_b_o_r_t (3) is called whether or not −−g was specified dur‐
       ing  loading.   Similarly,  if  the  value of _f_7_7__d_u_m_p__f_l_a_g begins with
       _n, _a_b_o_r_t is not called.
