Halt

Button: Shortcut key: [SysRq] Menu: Run->Halt (from Source/Session Control windows)

Halt, which is available only while the program is running, stops execution immediately. The Source window is updated with the current line set to the next line to be executed. If you issued the halt while the debugger was executing a section of code without debug information, the Source window displays the current context in disassembly mode. Otherwise it displays the current context in the most recently used view (source, mixed, or disassembly).
