continue

Use continue to continue a previously-started multi-step transaction. Transactions that have multiple steps executed in a sequence are called pacts and are defined using the defpact keyword. Steps can be nested in defpact structures and the continue function enables you to continue execution with a specified value.

Basic syntax

To continue a previously-started defpact transaction, use the following syntax:

(continue value)

Arguments

Use the following argument to specify the value to continue the nested defpact.

Argument	Type	Description
value	any	Specifies the value to continue the nested defpact.

Return value

The continue function continues the execution of the nested defpact with the specified value.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of continue within the context of a defpact to resume its execution with a specified value.

  (defpact transfer-crosschain:string
    ( sender:string
      receiver:string
      receiver-guard:guard
      target-chain:string
      amount:decimal
    )
    (step 
      (with-capability (TRANSFER_XCHAIN sender receiver amount target-chain)
        (install-capability (coin.TRANSFER sender receiver amount))
        (coin.transfer-crosschain sender receiver receiver-guard target-chain amount)
      )
    )
    (step
      (continue (coin.transfer-crosschain sender receiver receiver-guard target-chain amount))
    )
  )
