# RETURN Example

Syntax: RETURN

NOTE: This is written for the BS2 and will run on any BASIC Stamp module. Modify the $STAMP directive (as required) before downloading to the BS1, BS2e, BS2sx, BS2p, BS2pe, or BS2px.

    ' RETURN.BS2
    ' This program demonstrates a potential bug caused by allowing a program to
    ' "fall into" a subroutine.  The program was intented to indicate that it
    ' is "Starting...", then "Executing Subroutine,", then "Returned..." from
    ' the subroutine and stop.  Since we left out the END command (indicated in
    ' the comments), the program then falls into the subroutine, displays
    ' "Executing..." again and then RETURNs to the start of the program and
    ' runs continuously in an endless loop.

    ' {$STAMP BS2}

    Reset:
      DEBUG "Starting Program", CR          ' show start-up

    Main:
      PAUSE 1000
      GOSUB Demo_Sub                        ' call the subroutine
      PAUSE 1000
      DEBUG "Returned from Subroutine", CR  ' show that we're back
      PAUSE 1000
                                            ' <-- Forgot to put END here

    Demo_Sub:
      DEBUG "  Executing Subroutine", CR    ' show subroutine activity
      RETURN
