GOSUB...RETURN Statement Programming Example
 
This example shows the correct use of RETURN linelabel statements.
 
CLS                              ' Clear screen
PRINT "in module-level code"
GOSUB Sub1
PRINT "this line in main routine should be skipped"
Label1:
   PRINT "back in module-level code"
   END
 
Sub1:
   PRINT "in subroutine one"
   GOSUB Sub2
   PRINT "this line in subroutine one should be skipped"
Label2:
   PRINT "back in subroutine one"
   RETURN Label1
 
Sub2:
   PRINT "in subroutine two"
   RETURN Label2   'Cannot return from here to main
                   'program - only to SUB1.
 
Sample Output
 
in module-level code
in subroutine one
in subroutine two
back in subroutine one
back in module-level code
