PLBWIN, or PLBLinux, 9.6

PLB_AAMCANCELCHAR={abortkey}

This keyword defines a default character or function key that cancels a READ operation for an AFILE. When this keyword is specified, the runtime READ AFILE operations automatically enable the abort/cancel support for an AFILE READ instruction. If this keyword is not specified,the default behavior of the runtimes does not allow an AFILE READ to be aborted/canceled. Note, that the SETMODE *AAMCANCELCHAR keyword enables the AFILE READ abort/cancel mode for a specific program that is executing.
