Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 END [DEF | FUNCTION | IF | SELECT | SUB | TYPE | n%]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ By itself, the END statement stops program execution, closes all files,
     and returns 0 to the operating system. In a compiled program, END
     returns control to the operating system; in Visual Basic, END returns to
     the programming environment.
 
   ■ The following table shows where END is required:

   ■ You can place any number of END statements anywhere in the program to
     to stop execution.
