REWRITE
END-RETURN
ends the scope of the RETURN statement, causing the RETURN to be a delimited-
scope statement. If the RETURN statement does not end with an END-RETURN
phrase, the presence of the AT END or the NOT AT END phrase causes the
RETURN statement to be a conditional statement, which ends at the next period
separator.
