return xi

Read(3080) Label: main program, free up resource,

Description:

Return the result xi,…. of executing a routine or a subroutine. Then the main program will terminate the execution to free up the resource.

Syntax:

return xi

Note:

With return, program will return the result xi. The program will by default return the last calculation cell value if no return/end statement appears when it is executed.Generally speaking, the returned result is a table sequence, a pure record sequence, or a cursor. Table sequence and pure record sequence are used as the esProc data set for a report, and cursor is used for the parallel program.

Example:

 

A

B

 

1

=demo.query("select NAME,GENDER from EMPLOYEE")

 

 

2

=A1.select(GENDER=="M")

=A1.select(GENDER=="F")

A2

A3

 

3

return A2, B2

 

A3 returns the two result sets: A2 and B2. When this esProc file is used for report creation, the two result sets can be used as data sources of the report.

 

 

A

 

1

=file("D://abc.txt")

 

2

=A1.cursor()

Get a cursor with retrieved data.

3

return A2

A3 returns the cursor in A2. When using this esProc file in a parallel program, only the cursor created on the basis of binary file object sequence will be returned for the use in main program.
