Because there can only be one ENDSR per subroutine and it has to be the last
statement.  However, you can put a tag as factor one of the ENDSR and GOTO
that tag.  Thus:

       C           VLDDAT    BEGSR                
       C*                                         
       C           DATE      IFGT EXPDAT          
       C                     MOVE 'E'       RTNCOD
       C           GOTO     SREND                
       C                     ENDIF                
       C*                                         
       C           DATE      IFLT BEGDAT          
       C                     MOVE 'B'       RTNCOD
       C           GOTO         SREND                
       C                     ENDIF                
       C*                                         
       C           SREND          ENDSR                

I only suggest this for those of you who said they might not mind something
like:

       C           GOTO         *SREND                

because what you can do now is not so different.
