Stop run: Terminates the execution of the program and return back to the OS

GOBACK: Terminates the execution of the program and return back to the previous higher level.

If you give goback instead of stoprun in a standalone program nothing will happen. goback is going to return back to the OS since that is the higher level for the program.

The program will go in an infinite loop even if you code in Called or calling program. Goback gives the control from the begining of the program

It will return to calling program. In a threaded environment if the program is the first program in a thread the thread is terminated.
