Stoprun return the cursor to the OS, subprogram cursor will
be return to the main program that’s way we coded
exitprogram or goback

Answer / veni

If STOP RUN is used in the sub program, execution will
terminate there itself and it will never come to main
program. Thats why we have to use only GOBACK in the sub
programs.

Normally, we will code STOP RUN only in main programs not
in sub programs.

Answer / suresh ramaiyan

If we use STOP RUN in the sub program, in sub program
itself will terminate the execution and the control will
not come back to the calling program or main program.

Instead we can use "EXIT PROGRAM". This command will pass
the control to main program.
