Now I understand because a program of mine didn't work: with return it didn't exit...

Thank you, Han.

I'll amend it with uppercase.

Also:
Code:

#cas
RETEXAMPLE():=
BEGIN
  IF 1>0 THEN
    return rr:=12;
  END;
  return(rr-2);
END;
#end

end with 10
but
Code:

#cas
RETEXAMPLE():=
BEGIN
  IF 1>0 THEN
    RETURN rr:=12;
  END;
  return(rr-2);
END;
#end
exit with 12...

So, return (lowercase) pass a value to the rest of the program, isn't it?
