QUIT statement

Raises the QUIT condition. By default, this exits from the ABL session and returns to the operating system. When QUIT is executed from within a procedure running on an AppServer, it terminates the ABL session running on the AppServer, causing the AppServer server to shut down and returns to the ABL client session from which it was spawned.

Note:

Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.

If QUIT is executed during a transaction, the AVM commits the transaction before exiting.
