Re: Pause technique

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might try this:
Alter your CLP with a meaningful label between each step.  Put a 
"RETURN" prior to each of your new labels, and put a sndpgmsg saying 
"CLP Label &LABEL is completed."  Add a parm to the CLP.  Start the CLP 
with the first step of GOTO LABEL(&LABEL)

write down your meaningful new labels. Then call your CLP with your 
meaningful new labels, one after the other.
