In the past, I have used them when I had a serious problem and just wanted
to "cold-cock" the program.

If WeAreInDeepDoDo;
DUMP(A);
*INH1 = *ON;
RETURN;
Endif;

Now days, I try to do the send program message thing but for a quick and
dirty...

Subject: Did anybody ever use halt indicators?

I've never seen them in the wild, and have never heard anyone talk about
them, even old-timers who reminisce about match field indicators and share
war stories about RPG II.

To me, halt indicators seem like a light-weight, bare-bones exception
mechanism.

Were they unpopular because they were TOO bare-bones? What's the story on
halt indicators?
