<h1 class="topictitle1">CALLSUBR command</h1>
<div><p>The <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command is used
in a CL procedure for passing control to a subroutine defined within the same
procedure.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command has
two parameters: <span class="cmdname">Subroutine (SUBR)</span>, which contains the name
of the subroutine to which control is to be transferred to, and <span class="cmdname">Return
value (RTNVAL)</span>, which specifies the variable that will contain the
return value from the called subroutine. See the following example:</p>
<pre>CALLSUBR SUBR(mysubr) RTNVAL(&amp;myrtnvar)</pre>
<p>The subroutine <samp class="codeph">mysubr</samp> must be defined in the
procedure by the Subroutine (SUBR) parameter of a <span class="cmdname">Subroutine (SUBR)</span> command.
The variable '&amp;myrtnvar' must be defined as TYPE(*INT) LEN(4), and will
contain the value from the Return value (RTNVAL) parameter of either a <span class="cmdname">Return
from Subroutine (RTNSUBR)</span> or the <span class="cmdname">End Subroutine (ENDSUBR)</span> command
found in subroutine 'mysubr'. If no RTNVAL parameter is defined, the return
value from the subroutine is ignored.</p>
<p>The <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command
may be placed anywhere within the procedure, including other subroutines,
with the exception of a program-level <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command.
Each <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command, when run, places
a return address onto the subroutine stack, and the size of the stack can
be changed with the use of the Subroutine Stack (SUBRSTACK) parameter of the <span class="cmdname">Declare
Process Options (DCLPRCOPT)</span> command. If a globally monitored message
causes a GOTO command to be run, the subroutine stack will be reset by the
next <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command that is run. See
the following example:</p>
<pre> PGM
DCL VAR(&amp;myrtnvar) TYPE(*INT) LEN(4)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(DUMP))
:
CALLSUBR SUBR(SUBR1) RTNVAL(&amp;myrtnvar)
:
DUMP: DMPCLPGM
CALLSUBR SUBR(SUBR2)
:
SUBR SUBR(SUBR1)
:
SUBR SUBR(SUBR1)
:
ENDSUBR RTNVAL(12)
:
SUBR SUBR(SUBR2)
:
ENDSUBR
ENDPGM </pre>
<p>In this example,
the first <span class="cmdname">Call Subroutine (CALLSUBR)</span> command will pass
control to the subroutine SUBR1, and the return value of <samp class="codeph">12</samp> will
be placed into the variable <samp class="codeph">&amp;myrtnvar</samp> when control returns.
If a message is monitored by the <span class="cmdname">Monitor Message (MONMSG)</span> command,
the <span class="cmdname">Goto (GOTO)</span> command will be run and control will branch
to label DUMP, the CL procedure will be dumped by DMPCLPGM, and the next CALLSUBR
to subroutine SUBR2 will reset the subroutine stack.</p>
