Functions CALL, CALLP
(1) Executes the subroutine program specified by the pointer (P**).
(2) Up to five levels of nesting of the CALL/CALLP instruction are allowed.
RET
(1) Executes the sequence program located at the next step to the CALL(P)
instruction when the RET instruction is executed.
(2) Indicates the end of subroutine program.
POINT
For the PC CPUs shown below, setting indicated below is required.
• A0J2HCPU, AnSCPU, AnSHCPU,A2CCPU, AnCPU, AnNCPU, A3HCPU,
A3MCPU, A3VCPU
In a sequence between the RET instruction in a subroutine program and the
END instruction at the end of a sequence program, a dummy circuit must
always be set. Otherwise, the PC will fail to operate correctly.
(A NOP instruction has the same effect. However, take it into consideration
that "NOP batch deletion" must not be executed by a peripheral device.)
