hiCheckAbort

hiCheckAbort( ) 
=> t / nil 

Description

Returns the value of the global abort flag.

This flag can be set to t by calling hiSetAbort and to nil by calling hiResetAbort. The flag normally is set to t when the SKILL interrupt flag is set to t, typically when a user presses Ctrl+C in a Virtuoso window. The global abort flag, once set, remains set to t unless specifically reset using the SKILL routine hiResetAbort or when cleared by Cadence applications.
