Use of the PROMPT Keyword

CLISTs executed can be "stepped" through one command at a time. Consider the following command:

 I CLIST DEMO_CLIST PROMPT @1

When this command is executed, the first command of the CLIST "DEMO_CLIST" is executed, then the following message displays:

 PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE, CLEAR OR
 ANY CHARACTER TO CANCEL

To execute the next command, press ENTER and continue for each command. Argument substitution is not affected by the use of PROMPT. PROMPT or NOPROMPT defaults to the specification of the highest level CLIST. NOPROMPT is the default.
