ABORT(3F)																 ABORT(3F)

NAME
       abort - abnormal termination

SYNOPSIS
       subroutine abort (string)
       character*(*) string

DESCRIPTION
       Abort cleans up the I/O buffers and then terminates execution.  If string is given, it is written to logical unit 0 preceded by ``abort:''.

       If  the	-g  flag was specified during loading, then execution is terminated by calling abort(3) which aborts producing a core file in the
       current directory.  If -g was not specified while loading, then *** Execution terminated is written on logical unit 0 and execution is ter-
       minated.

       If  the f77_dump_flag environment variable has been set to a value which begins with y, abort(3) is called whether or not -g was specified
       during loading.	Similarly, if the value of f77_dump_flag begins with n, abort is not called.
