**#RETURN(** [ //returnvalue// ] **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#RETURN** | Immediately returns from the #GROUP. |
| //returnvalue// | An expression containing the value to return to the calling statement. If omitted, an empty string ('') is returned. |

The **#RETURN** statement immediately returns control to the statement following the #INSERT, #CALL, or #INVOKE that called the #GROUP, or returns the //returnvalue// to the CALL or INVOKE built-in procedures. If the #INSERT, #CALL, or #INVOKE that called the #GROUP are set to receive the //returnvalue//, the value is placed in the symbol named in the #INSERT, #CALL, or #INVOKE statement.

#RETURN is only valid in a #GROUP section.

**Example:**

**#GROUP(%ProcessListGroup,%PassedControl)**

**  #FIX(%ScreenField,%PassedControl)**

**  #IF (%ScreenFieldType <;> 'LIST')**

**    #UNFIX(%ScreenField)**

**   ****#RETURN**

**  #ENDIF**
