1) Out of curiosity, why is DUMP disallowed in the ON-EXIT block?

2) Can this limitation be circumvented simply by using a subroutine from within the block?


I think DUMP could probably be supported in ON-EXIT, but mainly because the ON-EXIT code is actually a separate procedure from the "real" procedure, DUMP support would be somewhat complex to implement. So we decided not to support DUMP right away.

It would take a new RFE before we would consider adding that support.

As others have pointed out, EXSR (and BEGSR/ENDSR) aren't supported in ON-EXIT either, so using a subroutine wouldn't help.
