Ending a status report (STATUS_END)

The STATUS_END command forces EASI to stop searching a procedure for STATUS commands. It has the form:

STATUS_END

and should be placed after the last STATUS_SHOW command.

STATUS_END is optional since it is implied at the end of a procedure; however, status reports for long procedures can be made faster using this command since only a part of the procedure is searched for STATUS statements.

Example:

In order to make the ENHANCE script work with STATUS, the following lines are added to near the beginning of the script:

STATUS_TITLE "ENHANCE Image Resizing and Enhancement"
STATUS_SHOW FILI 64,1
STATUS_SHOW DBIC 1,1
STATUS_SHOW FILO 64,1
STATUS_END

With this addition, the current values of the input parameters to ENHANCE can be determined interactively by the user using the STATUS command:

EASI>status enhance

The user of the script will then be able to set the parameters to appropriate values as with any other EASI task.
