...or even use STOP RUN in main programs and GOBACK in called ones, in the

World, may see it differently.)

The semantically inaccurate command that bothers me (but which is
useful with some compilers), is PERFORM ABEND-ROUTINE.

I ain't coming back.

One place I worked used CALL 'ABEND'. Of course the ABEND module did not
exist.
