PAUSE Command

The PAUSE command suspends ACL/E execution to allow the user to press an action key (Enter, CLEAR, PA, or PFn). This allows the user to perform some action, such as selecting from a menu or entering data before the next ACL/E statement is executed. The user's action is transmitted to the application, and ACL/E execution resumes when the application responds. This operand exists for compatibility with earlier versions of ACL/E, and it is recommended that the INPUT statement or a combination of INPUT and SEND statements be used.
