How to return from a SKILL procedure

LakshmanQual

Hi all,

I am writing a SKILL script as mentioned below for some utility, Meanwhile i got some issues. Could you please give me the proper commands to use at the required place?

I want to exit/return from procedure. I tried to use 'return()', ipcCloseProcess(), ipckillAllProcesses(), ipcStopProcess(). But they are throwing evaluation errors. Could you please let me know how to use process ending functions and using the return values from dialog boxes to run another procedure..

procedure(proc_main()

;some definitions and  functions here

proc2(a)

proc3(b)

)

procedure(proc2(a)

a=b+c

x=y+z

if (x then

proc3(b)

else

-- I want to exit the main procedure with a dialogue box

hidisplayAppDBox(?name 'ERROR

                             ?dboxText "Error message")

;;;return command or some other dialog box for further process here.

) ; end if

) ; end proc2

    Hello,

    You have to use "prog" if you want to use return statement.

    E.g., 

    procedure( proc2(a)

         prog((x y z a)         ; declare local variables

              ;;;;

              ;;;;

              return(1)

         );prog

    );proc2

    prog : Used to prevent any conflict between global and local variables with same names. Here, a, x, y, z will be local to this procedure proc2 and any global variables with these names will not be affected.

    And, interestingly, prog allows us to use "return" statement.....which you can use in your case. 

    It should be our common practice to use prog/let in our procedures.

    Thanks,

    Regards,
