FRETURN expression
Arguments
expression
An expression whose type is the same as the return type of the function.
Discussion
The FRETURN statement enables you to specify the return value of a user-defined function and return control to the calling routine. The size of the value returned to the calling routine is the size of the result of the expression.
When FRETURN is used in a ^VAL function, the value specified in the statement should be an integer. If it is not, it is converted to an integer.
If the compiler encounters an FRETURN statement outside of a function, it generates a “Not within function or subroutine” error ($ERR_NOTINSUB).
Examples
The following example checks to see if the current paint character needs to be changed to the specified paint character. It returns %TRUE if it changed the paint character or %FALSE if it didn’t.
function chk_paint a_paint ,a record d_val ,d3 proc if (%paint .ne. %decml(a_paint)) begin xcall paint(a_paint) freturn (%true) end freturn (%false) endfunction
