 Statement(s)

Return

Gosub jumps to a place in the script that is marked with the jump target Label; Return goes back to the calling place.

The jump target Label must reside inside the same subroutine or function from which the Gosub command is called.

Note: Gosub ... Return is provided only for compatibility with older Basic versions. It is recommended to use the statement Sub for subroutines instead.
