How to exit a subroutine half way through - Yumda - 11-11-2024

Hi there:

Just not sure if this is possible with small basic.

Been trying to exit a subroutine half way through but so far does not have much success, any ideas ?

All help is much appreciated.

Regards

Hello, Yumda. Shy

At the very end of the subroutine, I insert some necessary line of code or an empty operation, like this: "x = x".
Before this line I insert a transition label, for example: "subName_Exit:".

Now I can jump to the end of the subroutine from anywhere in the code to exit it.

' ---
Sub Test
... ' any code

Goto subTest_Exit

... ' any code
subTest_Exit:
x = x
EndSub
' ----

Either Goto as AB showed (don't need the x=x though) or encase unwanted code in If ("False"). Note you must keep the GoTo jump within the same subroutine.

Code:
Test1()

Test2()

Sub Test1

  TextWindow.WriteLine("Used code 1")

  Goto subTest_Exit

  TextWindow.WriteLine("Unused code 1")

  subTest_Exit:

EndSub

Sub Test2

  TextWindow.WriteLine("Used code 2")

  If ("False") Then

    TextWindow.WriteLine("Unused code 2")

  EndIf

EndSub
