or try [ "$EC" ] as the last line and call the function like this:

Code:

if g1 $DATE $HOUR $MIN
then
     echo "Errors found in date/time - exiting now" >&2
     exit 1
fi

        A)
                return 0 # No error
                ;;
       ... # Many error checks which don't return
       esac

       echo "Some sort of error happened"
       return 1
}

Thanks Corona688 for this alternative.
I did not understand everything. Please, can you integrate your code in mine Y

Code:

g1() {
case "$1" in
([E,F,Q,P][A,C,S][A,I,V,P][D,R,T,V])
  # RAS, OK !
  ;;
(*)
  echo 'Fatal, $1 eq '"'$1'"', Bad context' >&2
exit=1
  ;;
esac
