Nesting depth
The nesting depth is the number of successive levels in which
program sections or subprograms can call further program sections or
subprograms.
Maximum nesting depth for subprograms: 8
Maximum nesting depth for main program calls: 6, where a CYCL
CALL acts like a main program call.
You can nest program section repeats as often as desired.
