This command may be used to terminate execution abnormally, with an immediate return to command level. The TSS executive will dump the contents of allocated core to file "abrt" (creating the file, if necessary). This dump may be examined by BOFF (see "expl boff abort").
The current instruction is saved at location zero (0) in the prefix, and is replaced by a DRL ABORT instruction. The DRL is then executed. Thus the value of the IC and I registers in the dump reflect the state of the program when the trace package last gained control.
