End (END)

Description:   The instruction delimits the end of a program's instruction stream. When this instruction is encountered in execution, it causes a return to the preceding invocation (if present) or causes termination of the process phase if the instruction is executed in the highest-level invocation for the initial thread of the process. The End instruction delineates the end of the instruction stream. When it is encountered in execution, the instruction functions as a Return External instruction with a null operand. Refer to the Return External (RTX) instruction for a description of that instruction.
