task_start Statement

The task_start statement is used to start a named task. The name of the task is a function name. Currently only the tasks named

• main

 
• task_1

 
• task_2

 
• task_3

 

may be specified. In the future it will be possible to delcare other functions and group them into task groups.

It is possible for a task to start itself. This effectively allows a task to abort whatever it is doing and reset itself.

NOTE tasks can only be started from within INTSERV if the task is currently suspended or dead

syntax

task_start   & task_name

where task_name is the name of a valid task

NOTE the use of & before the name of the task
