COBOL/400 Language Help
- Description
- The GOBACK statement specifies the logical end of a called program.
It functions like the EXIT PROGRAM statement when coded as a part of a called
program, and like the STOP RUN statement when coded in a main program.
In a sentence, the GOBACK statement should appear as the only statement or as
the last statement in a series of imperative statements, because any
statements following GOBACK are not executed.
If control reached a GOBACK statement in a subprogram in a COBOL run unit,
control returns to the point in the calling program immediately following the
CALL statement, as in the EXIT PROGRAM statement.
