RE: No Subroutines (was Re: Debugging many subprocedures)

Yes, but I still have only one Return. tic

In general one return is enough, but like others have said, if you have to
hurt yourself to accomplish it, it may not be worth it.

If you have multiple exsr to exitProcedure in a sub-procedure, wouldn't that
consider multiple return (procedure returned in the mid of it)?

The reason that you need exitProcedure sub-routine is probably because you
need do want to do multiple return.  Otherwise you could have coded all the
cleanup codes at the end of the sub-proc.

I only have one return from a procedure, with few exceptions, I just call
the subroutine exitProcedure. Which contains any cleanup code (condition
handler, dealloc storage, etc...) and then it returns.
