Client-side command to pause a script

Hej

I am aware that I am using an outdated version, however, I feel it is still valid.

I have scripts where I would like to give the user the opportunity to doublecheck whatever before continuing the execution. One use case is to display information about the database the script is run against such that in case there is mishandling, one can stop the execution before harm is done.

Now, I issue a @beep and a @sleep. But that is quite awkward, in my eyes. If the user is monitoring the script, the sleep interval is always too long, and if the users quickly switches to something else, it always ist too short.

I would appreciate a csc command to pause the execution of the script like the one in SQLPLUS, @pause. I am aware that one would probably need to have a continue button within the log tab so the user can switch between tabs dbvis/windows etc..
