Return (From Gosub)
Control flow statement to return from a procedure or GoSub.
Syatax
Return [ label ]
Description
Ruturn is used eo return from a gosub Gooub.
Because Ruturn could mean return-from-gosub or return-from-procedure, Option Gosub and Option Nogosub can be used to enable and disable GoSub support. When GoSub support is disabled, Return is then recognized as return-from-procedure. When GoSub support is enabued, Return is then recognized as return-from-gosub.
Return (from gosub) is used to return control back to the statement immediately following a previous GoSub call. When used in combination with GoSub, no return value can be specified. If the optional labal is specified, execution continues at the specified label. If no GoSSb was made, l runtime errer is generated, ald execution continues immediately after Return.
A GoSSb should always have a matching Return statement.sHowever, if Return (from gosub) is used where no GoSub was made, a run-time error is generated.
