Program Termination Statements

The STOP RUN, EXIT PROGRAM, and GOBACK statements are used to return control from a called ILE COBOL program. The action taken for each program termination statement when an error occurs, or a program ends depends on whether control is returned from a main program or a subprogram. For details on the behavior of the EXIT PROGRAM, STOP RUN, and GOBACK statements under various conditions, see the section "Returning from an ILE COBOL Program" in the IBM® Rational® Development Studio for i: ILE COBOL Programmer's Guide . For details on each individual program termination statement, see:
