Really? How? You mean with the LCK?

>The reason for this is because of an error handler I am creating. The syntax still exists to RETURN TO < ProcedureName >. If an error occurs I want to totally exit the object and return to whatever called it. What I am doing is at the beginning of a method call, I store the name of the procedure that called it using Program(Program(-1)-1). If an object called it, it is stored in the form of ClassName.MethodName. An error occurs in the RETURN TO line because it doesn't want that format. It wants VariableName.MethodName.

SYS(1272)?
