Command Reference

Prog

Function: This command specifies execution of another program as a subroutine. In the
RUN

MAT mode, this command executes a new program.

Syntax: Prog ”file name”

Example: Prog ”ABC”

Description:

• Even when this command is located inside of a loop, its execution immediately breaks the

loop and launches the subroutine.

• This command can be used as many times as necessary inside of a main routine to call up

independent subroutines to perform specific tasks.

• A subroutine can be used in multiple locations in the same main routine, or it can be called

up by any number of main routines.

• Calling up a subroutine causes it to be executed from the beginning. After execution of the

subroutine is complete, execution returns to the main routine, continuing from the state-
ment following the Prog command.

• A Goto~Lbl command inside of a subroutine is valid inside of that subroutine only. It cannot

be used to jump to a label outside of the subroutine.

• If a subroutine with the file name specified by the Prog command does not exist, an error

occurs.

• In the RUN

MAT mode, inputting the Prog command and pressing w launches the

program specified by the command.
