<p>The Return from Subroutine (RTNSUBR) command returns control to the command immediately following the Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR) command that called the subroutine. The RTNSUBR command must be used within a subroutine, and multiple RTNSUBR commands may be used in a subroutine. If a value is to be returned, such as an error code, the returned value must be able to be stored into a 4-byte signed integer CL variable. The <b>Return value (RTNVAL) </b> parameter can be a variable or constant. If no RTNVAL parameter is defined, the value will default to zero.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>This command is valid only within a CL subroutine.
