What happens to stage

[cyounger]

Got a quick question guys what happens if I am running a stage program from a prgm called auto and it exits due to a fault and exits the program in the middle of say stage 5.  When the prgm. is called to run again will it start with stage 0 (ISG 0 ) or will the pgram start in stage 5 where it left off.
Thanks

It will go to SG0.
You will have to monitor which stage(s) were active when you EXIT the Code block, and then use SGSET (or JMP) to re-activate them.

ok thanks I was just making sure that the stage would go back to zero.

If you ever want the alternative behavior (i.e. start where you left off), look at possibly using the SUSPEND instruction from the "supervisory" program (e.g. $Main would SUSPEND program Auto), instead of EXITing from within 2nd program and re-RUNning from the "supervisory" program which would restart Auto.

We originally wrote SUSPEND as a debugging feature, but it could be utilized for this alternative behavior.  (Note that Time does not accumulate within SUSPENDed code-blocks - so TMRs ALSO "suspend".  Yes, technically, "time stands still"  )

Thanks again the suspend looks interesting I might try it on a future project
