.RETURN

The .RETURN command continues execution of a program until encountering a RETURN statement. This is convenient for debugging programs since it allows the whole program to run, stopping before returning to the next-higher program level so you can examine local variables.

Also see the RETURN command.


Note
.RETURN is an executive command. Executive commands can only be used at the IDL command prompt, not in programs.
