BEGIN CP Privilege Class: G Use the BEGIN command to continue or resume execution in the virtual machine at either a specified storage location or the location pointed to by the virtual machine's current program status word (PSW). The format of the BEGIN command is: +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ | BEGIN | [hexloc] | +----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ where: hexloc is the hexadecimal storage location where execution is to begin. Usage notes: 1. When BEGIN is issued without hexloc, execution begins at the storage address pointed to by the current virtual machine PSW. Unless the PSW has been altered since the CP command mode was entered, the location stored in the PSW is the location where the virtual machine stopped. 2. When BEGIN is issued with a storage location specified, execution begins at the specified storage location. The specified address replaces the instruction address in the PSW, then the PSW is loaded. 3. The execution of the BEGIN command will cause the console input buffer to return to the state it was in when the virtual machine stopped.
