HELP CONTINUE — VMS 4.6
Resumes execution of a DCL command, a program, or a command
procedure that was interrupted by pressing CTRL/Y or CTRL/C. The
CONTINUE command serves as the target command of an IF or ON command
in a command procedure. CONTINUE is also a target command when it
follows a label that is the target of a GOTO command. In addition,
you can use the CONTINUE command to resume processing of a program
that has executed either a VAX FORTRAN PAUSE statement or a VAX
COBOL-74 STOP literal statement.
You can abbreviate the CONTINUE command to a single letter, C.

Examples
1. $ RUN MYPROGRAM_A
^Y
$ SHOW TIME
15-APR-1984 13:40:12
$ CONTINUE
The RUN command executes the program MYPROGRAM_A. While the program
is running, pressing CTRL/Y interrupts the image. The SHOW TIME
command requests a display of the current date and time. The
CONTINUE command resumes the image.
2. $ ON SEVERE_ERROR THEN CONTINUE
This statement in a command procedure requests the command
interpreter to continue executing the procedure if any warning,
error, or severe error status value is returned from the execution
of a command or program. This ON statement overrides the default
action, which is to exit from a procedure following errors or severe
errors.
