Description

The RETURN statement closes the active program file, releases memory variables and arrays defined as private, and passes control back to the calling program. The RETURN statement is also used to denote the end of a procedure definition.

TO MASTER

If the TO MASTER is specified, then control is passed back to the highest level calling procedure.

<exp>

If the optional <exp> is specified, it will be returned to the calling program if the procedure or function was called as a User Defined Function.
