EF - Execute Force.

Syntax:

EF [expr]

Where:

expr: is an optional expression specifying the number of instructions to execute. If not supplied it defaults to 1.

Examples:

EF
EF 5

Description:

The "EF" verb (execute force) is similar to the "E" verb except that memory faults and stores or transfers into the trace package are not reported. It is useful for tracing through instructions which appear to memory fault even though they will not. (E.g. an SCM instruction with the huge count, but which will match before the end of memory.) It is normally used when a trace pauses complaining about such an instruction.

After "expr" intructions have been executed, if tracing is engaged, normal trace actions will continue; if tracing is was not engaged control will return to the program. Note that this is different than the E verb where after "expr" instructions, the trace package will prompt for input.
