#return

##Syntax A returnStatement is:

return

##Description A return statement terminates the procedure (or main program) in which it appears. Ordinarily, a procedure (or main program) terminates by reaching its end; the return statement is used to cause early termination.

##Example This procedure takes no action if the errorHasOccurred flag has been set to true.

    procedure double
        if errorHasOccurred then
            return  % Terminate this procedure
        end if
        � handle usual case in this procedure �
    end double

##Details A return must not appear as a statement in (the outermost level of) a module, nor can it appear in a function.
