READ, SET, INSERT
    

READ, SET, and INSERT have a special feature that allows you to ask users questions and then use their answers in the macro. A macro will pause for user input if you use READ, SET, or INSERT with the subcommand FILE with the special filename TERMINAL. TERMINAL tells Minitab to wait for input from the keyboard.

Syntax

READ C...C

     FILE "TERMINAL"

                  or

SET C

     FILE "TERMINAL"

                  or

INSERT data [between K and K] of C...C

     FILE "TERMINAL"

READ, SET, and INSERT have other subcommands.

Note: If you use READ, SET, or INSERT with the subcommand FILE " TERMINAL" while command language is turned off in the Session window (with the menu command Editor > Disable Command Language), an error message will be displayed and the macro will stop.
