PAUSE, RESUME
    

For debugging purposes, you can put PAUSE statements in various parts of your macro. When the macro pauses, you can type any Minitab command, such as INFO to see if you have the right variables, PRINT to display various quantities to see if they are correct, and so on. Type RESUME (or just R) to return control back to the macro.

If you are in PAUSE mode from within a local macro, you have access to the local worksheet and only the local worksheet. You can declare new local variables while in PAUSE mode and use them. They will be stored at the end of the local worksheet.

While you are in PAUSE mode, you cannot CALL other macros in the same file, invoke macros in another file, or use control statements.
