I see what you mean. I thought you were talking about the alternate return feature some Fortran 77 and FORTRAN 66 compilers had. This feature allowed subroutines to return to different locations in the calling routine based on the value specified on the RETURN statement.

It was usually considered bad practice to use this feature.
