Displaying information
A running function or program does not display intermediate calculated
results unless you include a command to display them. This is an
important difference between performing a calculation on the entry line
and performing it in a function or program.
The following calculations, for example, do not display a result in a
function or program (although they do from the entry line).
Displaying information in the history
You can use the command in a program or function to display
information, including intermediate results, in the history.

stop the program.
You cannot use the command in a function.
