You could also use an exception to perform an immediate exit. Something like this (untested) :-

Type MyFatalException
	Field errorCode
EndType

Try
	' main program stuff goes here
	' if there's an error throw an exception with the return code in it like so :-
	'
	If someErrorOccurred 
	 	except:MyFatalException = New MyFatalException
		except.errorCode = 2
		Throw except
	EndIf
	 
Catch e:MyFatalException
  	Return e.errorCode
End Try

' We got to the end safely
Return 0
