Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ Cannot continue is a prompt that may occur while you
  are debugging. While your program was suspended (at a
  breakpoint, for example) you made a change to the program
  that has implications throughout the program.
 
■ More than one condition can cause this error:
 
  • You may have changed the dimensions of an array, changed
    procedure arguments, or edited some other declarative
    statement.
 
  • You may have pressed Ctrl+Break during display of a modal
    form or a menu's Click event procedure.
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Choose:
    ╔════════╗
    ║   OK   ║ To keep the change and restart the program.
    ╚════════╝
    ┌────────┐
    │ Cancel │ To undo the change in your program text.
    └────────┘ (Do this if restarting interferes with your
               debugging strategy.)
 
■ If you need additional help, move the cursor to a keyword
  and press F1 to open the Help window.
