RE: When to use Return vs. *INLR = *ON

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use Return in the subprogram when the calling program will call it *many*
times in the job.  Usually this is a batch job.  Usually, when I code a
program like this, I default it to Return, but provide an extra parameter
that tells it whether to seton LR or not; when the calling program is
finished, I set this "seton LR" parameter and call the subprogram, which
determines that it now sets on *inLR and gets out without doing anything
else.

Subject: When to use Return vs. *INLR = *ON


I am writing a program that kind of acts like an exit program to another
program. I am wondering if I should do a return or set *INLR = *ON. When do
you use one over the other?
