Quit when an error occurs

[Charles Seman]

Marcus,

I'm not sure if I understand your question?

Here's a way to quit a GrADS script, depending on whether you're in
batch mode... When running in batch mode, you can supply the parameters
to the script which you would otherwise type in after being prompted in
an interactive run (I hope this makes sense?)... the "if-then" test on
"batch_mode" would also be used to determine whether to parse out the
"args" parameters...

---
function basic (args)
'reinit'

if( args = '' )
...
  batch_mode = 'no'
else
...
  batch_mode = 'yes'
endif
...
if( batch_mode = 'yes' )
  quit
endif
return

I hope this helps,
Chuck
