Bill, Rexx is a procedural language. Calls to a subroutine that end with a RETURN statement will always branch back to the calling routine. Rexx has the SIGNAL statement that behaves like a GOTO, but it is mostly intended to be used for error handling. If you want the program to terminate after calling the subroutine, replace the RETURN statement with EXIT(0).
