3.1.2 Subroutine programs
(1) Definition of subroutine program
A subroutine program is a program section from a pointer (P ) to the REET
instruction.
The subroutine program is executed only when it is called by a subroutine program
call instruction (e.g. CALL(P), FCALL(P)) from the main routine program.
(2) Subroutine program applications
Using a subroutine program as described below reduces the number of program
steps.
• Changing a section, which is executed several times during one scan, to a
subroutine program reduces the number of steps in the whole program.
• Changing a section, which is executed only when a certain condition is satisfied,
to a subroutine program reduces the number of steps in a normally executed
program.
