7.8 Programming with Subroutines
Subrounes are subprograms that are called from inside another program. The following secons
discuss the structure and design of subroune programming with PathPilot.
7.8.1 Subroutine Labels and Subroutine Keywords
Subrounes are idened in a program by a unique subroune label. The subroune label is the
leer O followed by an integer (with no sign) between 0 and 99999 wrien with no more than ve
digits (000009 is not permied, for example) or a string of characters surrounded by <> symbols.
Examples of valid subroune labels include:
O123
O99999
O<my test code>
Subroune labels may be used in any order but must be unique in a program. Each subroune label
must be followed by a subroune keyword.
