+===== Syntax Elements =====
+Since Rev. 2730+ you're able to call EXIT or HALT like in Delphi syntax.
+==== Exit ====
+The exit statement will immediatly leave a function or program code.
+__NOTICE__: Currently it's not possible to directly set the result value in brackets!
+In the example below the function will return "A large value!" if the supplied argument is larger than 100.
+Otherwise it will return the integer value as string.
+<file pascal>
+function MyTest(AValue : Integer) : String;
+begin
+  if (AValue > 100) then
+  begin
+    Result := 'A large value!';
+    Exit;
+  end;
+  Result := IntToStr(AValue);
+end;
+</file>
+==== Halt ====
+The HALT statement is useful to immediatly stop the program from execution.
+It doesn't matter if you're in a function or in main program code. The executor will immediatly stop bytecode execution.
+In the example below we stop the program if the supplied argument is larger than 100.
+Otherwise nothing will happen.
+<file pascal>
+procedure StopMyProgram(AValue : Integer);
+begin
+  if (AValue > 100) then
+    Halt;
+end;
+</file>
