SIGNAL statement

You can raise a condition by means of the SIGNAL statement. This statement can be used in program testing to verify the action of an ON-unit and to determine whether the correct action is associated with the condition. The established action is taken unless the condition is disabled.

If the specified condition is disabled, the SIGNAL statement becomes equivalent to a null statement.
