Typ: Command General Programming-Syntax: RETURN
The BASIC command RETURN (don't confuse it with the RETURN ) finishes a subroutine, which is called by the BASIC command GOSUB. After leaving the subroutine the program continues right after the calling GOSUB statement.
As a side-effect a RETURN disposes all open FOR-NEXT stack-frames on the stack and keeps the stack in a consistent, clean state.
The BASIC error message ?RETURN WITHOUT GOSUB ERROR appears when a RETURN is executed without a prior GOSUB.
