My last post got me thinking about weaning myself from macpas mode. One of the statements I have found quite useful is the macpas defined "return" statement which is used to return the function value and exits immediately from inside any nested block. Has there been any thought or discussion about incorporating "return" into the main language? For me, it simplifies writing functions considerably and makes the code easier to read/understand - even if it just replaces a simple function assignment statement at the end of the function. - R
This
...
return x;
end;
vs this
...
funcname := x;
end;
