OS_Exit

(SWI &11)
Entry
R0 Pointer to error block
R1 “ABEX” (&58454241) If Return code
R2 Return code
Exit
Never returns

Use

The purpose of this call is to pass control over to the most recent exit handler.

Notes

If R1 = “ABEX”, and 0 \<= R2 \<= Sys$RCLimit, then Sys$ReturnCode is set to R2.

If R1 = “ABEX” and R2 is outside this range, then Sys$ReturnCode is still set to R2, and a garbled error message issued (0 is used at the pointer to an error block). This is a very long lived OS bug.
