Putting my two cents in ... I also would rather have both options. I would choose the keywords:
ABORT (same as END, and deprecate use of END as a keyword) STOP (end processing with the accumulated weight, and the test status status as having triggered, as requested by Matthew Bramble and Scott Fisher) Andrew 8) -----Original Message----- From: Scott Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Question about END operation Now that we've had two people wanting END to End with weight, can I suggest a STOP action that would STOP processing with the current weight? Essentially this would make the STOP action similar to what END was before the last released interim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
