Is there some way in the setup below to break out of child.prg from the subroutine childsub and return to parent.prg? The desired solution would show the dialog box "after child" but none of the other two.

parent.prg

Code: Select all

exec .\child.prg
@uiprompt("after child")

child.prg

Code: Select all

call childsub
@uiprompt("after childsub")

subroutine childsub
  ' Break out of child.prg here
  @uiprompt("after breakout")
endsub

I believe return will exit out of a subroutine, if in one, and exit out of a program otherwise. So, exiting out of a program whilst in a subroutine I think is not possible in one go.
