How do I stop playback?

I have this script:
function Init() {
  var $entryName = "Entry 1";
  CreateEntry($entryName);
  _setValue(_textbox("field1"), "foobar 1");
  _setValue(_textbox("field2"), "foobar 2");
}

function CreateEntry($entryName) {
  if (_link($entryName) == null) {
    _click(_button("Insert"));
  } else {
    var $errorMsg = "Entry \"" + $entryName + "\" already exists";
    _stopOnError();
    try {
      _assertEqual(_link($entryName), null, $errorMsg);
      _log($errorMsg, "error");
      _log($errorMsg, "failure");
      _debugToErr($errorMsg);
    } catch (e) {
      _logExceptionAsFailure(e);
    }
  }
}

Suppose this "Entry 1" does exist on the page. I see all the correct log and debug messages but playback does not stop until the _setValue call for field1 is called (b/c field1 won't exist b/c the "Insert" button wasn't clicked). I want playback to stop inside CreateEntry(). How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm running Sahi Build 2010-11-03 on Window 2003 Server with IE 8.

    Hi Ted,

    _stopOnError() is a directive to Sahi to stop executing further IF there is an error. It is to toggle back the effects of _continueOnError().

    If you want to get out of the script, you could use

    _fail("some message")

    This will log the message and abort execution.
