**RETURN** is used in [GOSUB](GOSUB) procedures to return to the original call code line or a specified line label.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> **RETURN** [{*linelabel*|*linenumber*}]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Parameter(s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* RETURN without parameters returns to the code immediately following the original [GOSUB](GOSUB) call.
|
||
|
|
* *line number* or *linelabel* after the RETURN statement returns code execution to that label.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Normally required at the end of a [GOSUB](GOSUB) procedure unless the procedure returns using a loop.
|
||
|
|
* RETURN is not used in error handling procedures. Error procedures use [RESUME](RESUME) *line number* or [RESUME](RESUME).
|
||
|
|
* GOSUB procedures use line numbers or line labels designated with a colon after the number or label.
|
||
|
|
* If RETURN is encountered without a previous [GOSUB](GOSUB) call a [ERROR Codes](ERROR-Codes) is produced.
|
||
|
|
* To avoid errors, place [GOSUB](GOSUB) procedures AFTER the main program code [END](END) or after an [EXIT SUB](EXIT-SUB) or [EXIT FUNCTION](EXIT-FUNCTION) call.
|
||
|
|
|
