EXIT - end job and return status.

Alternate Entry Name: .EXIT

Usage:

B:
   exit( [status] );

/* C users use C "exit" */

Description:

EXIT closes all currently open B files and returns control to the operating system. If the "status" argument is provided, its lower nine bits are stored in bits 18-26 of the program switch word. In addition, if the subsystem was aborted by TSS, the abort code (contents of .LABRT - octal 24) is placed in bits 27-35.

If no argument is supplied to EXIT, the program switch word is left as is.

In batch, EXIT will execute a MME GEFINI with "status" placed in the same corresponding locations in the switch word.
