 Remarks

 There are a number of ways to use the  END statement, as described in the
 following list.

 Statement                               Description

  END  DEF                               Ends a multiline  DEF FN function
                                         definition. You must use  END  DEF
                                         with a multiline  DEF FN.

  END  FUNCTION                          Ends a  FUNCTION procedure
                                         definition. You must use  END
                                         FUNCTION with  FUNCTION.

  END  IF                                Ends a block  IF... THEN... ELSE
                                         statement. You must use  END  IF
                                         with block  IF... THEN... ELSE.

  END  SELECT                            Ends a  SELECT CASE block. You

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  END  SELECT                            Ends a  SELECT CASE block. You
                                         must use  END  SELECT with a
                                         SELECT CASE statement.

  END  SUB                               Ends a BASIC  SUB procedure. You
                                         must use  END  SUB with  SUB.

  END  TYPE                              Ends a user-defined type
                                         definition ( TYPE statement). You
                                         must use  END  TYPE with  TYPE.

  n%                                     Ends a program and returns the
                                         value  n% to the operating system
                                         (if  n% is omitted, the value of
                                         n% is set to 0).  END is not
                                         required at the end of a program.
                                         In Syntax 2,  n% accepts a range
                                         of integers from -32768 through
                                         32767, inclusive.
 Statement                               Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         32767, inclusive.

                                         The value  n% can be used by DOS
                                         or OS-2 batch files or by
                                         non-BASIC programs. Untrapped
                                         errors and fatal errors set the
                                         value of  n% to -1.



 By itself, the  END statement stops program execution and closes all files.
 In a stand-alone program,  END returns control to the operating system. In
 the QBX environment,  END returns to that environment. You can place an  END
 statement anywhere in the program to terminate execution.
