I am, low after these many years, revisiting our backup jobs and am
in the process of refactoring my first attempts of incorporating
store to disc as an option.  I want to exit the job if the options
selected do not make sense. For example, if neither the tape nor
the disc backup option is selected then I want to send a few
pertinent words to the console and then exit the job with out
falling through the rest of the code.

What is the recommended exit call for a job within an IF construct:
ESCAPE, EXIT, BYE?

IF _OPT1_ FALSE AND _OPT2_ FALSE THEN
  TELLOP You have choosen to do nothing useful!
  TELLOP Check the options selected for !HPJOBNAME.
  TELLOP !HPJOBNAME Exiting prematurely!
  <exit command du jour here>
ENDIF

Regards,
Jim
