   @Abort([<message>])
   @Abort(ENCODED,<message>)
   
Arguments

   ENCODED
      This argument if present indicates that the <message> argument is FMEParsableText
      encoded.

      Range: -

   <message>
      The string printed when the abort function is invoked. This message can be 
      used to simply identify that the abort function was called, or to print a 
      message that describes the reason the translation was aborted.
      
      Range: String
      
   Description

   This function provides a mechanism for selectively aborting a data 
   translation. @Abort is typically used to abort a data translation when 
   erroneous data is encountered. This is useful when using the FME for quality 
   assurance purposes.
   
   The optional message parameter can be used to print the reason the data 
   translation is aborted. For example, if there are several abort functions 
   used throughout a mapping file, then the message should clearly state the 
   reason the translation was aborted and identify the particular abort command 
   that was triggered. If no message is specified, then the translation will be 
   aborted and no message will be printed.
   
      Tip: @Abort is most often used on a factory OUTPUT clause that should 
      never be invoked unless the input data was bad. Using @Abort ensures the 
      translation will fail and there is no chance the bad data will go 
      unnoticed.
   
   The @Abort function also logs the feature upon which it was invoked.
