Causes the system to dispense in a pattern that is like another pattern in the program, but at the location in
the program where the Call Pattern command occurs. The called pattern must have a Label assigned to it. The
system stops dispensing the called pattern when it reaches an End Pattern command.

Call Subroutine

A subroutine is a set of commands that is located after the end of the program. Call Subroutine causes
the program to jump to the subroutine at a specied address and then to execute the commands at that
address. When the End Subroutine command (which is inside the subroutine) is reached, the program
continues at the address that immediately follows the Call Subroutine command. Call Subroutine is
most useful for repeating a pattern anywhere on the same workpiece (as opposed to the Step & Repeat
command, in which a pattern is repeated on separate workpieces that are arranged in straight lines and at
xed distances from each other).
