Note: Runtime errors (error codes 0025, 0026, 0027, and 0030) occur if
more than the allowable levels of subroutines are called (subroutine stack
overflow) or if more returns are executed than there are call levels
(subroutine stack underflow). Also, do not execute a JSR to a subroutine that
is already active in the subroutine stack.
Update critical I/O in subroutines using immediate input (IIM) and/or
immediate output (IOM) instructions, especially if your application calls for
nested or relatively long subroutines. Otherwise, the processor does not
update I/O until it reaches the end of the main program after executing
subroutines.
Entering Parameters
File – This is the SBR (subroutine) file number. Assign a decimal number
from 3 to 255.
