John,
I can't believe you're recommending this. The only reason Universe
treats a RETURN as a STOP in a top-level program is that Universe tries
to be everything to everyone, forgiving mistakes and blunders, and
trying to determine what the user really wanted, no matter how badly the
code is written. In 1998, we converted from Universe to Jbase, and you
can't imagine all the problems we had fixing bad Universe code that
worked (sort of) so that it would work in a system that requires you to
do things correctly. When coding and breaking rules, you have to
consider that the code may be migrated someday. This is a case of "just
because you can, doesn't mean you should".
I'm not talking about using the strengths of your particular
implementation even though they are unique to your implementation, just
doing dumb things that will bite you (or your predecessor) down the road.
Just my 2 cents worth.

It has been my experience that you can RETURN out any program or subroutine. If it is the top-level code, it simply stops. If it was called, it simply returns back to the calling routine.

I can't believe it was that!
Yes, putting in the RETURN cleared up the error.
Thanks

Since it's a subroutine, shouldn't you RETURN to get out, not STOP?
