How to stop matlab executing a command

I am using Matlab R2020b. I accidentally printed the contents of a large array on the command line which was taking minutes to display by type the array name and hitting return. I tried using the pause button but this did not stop it from listing the contents of the array. Is there any way of stopping matlab from executing commands, other than forcing the matlab application to close (which I had to do in the end)?
