Jump Instructions and Subroutines
Chapter 13
13-6
You can program a maximum of eight subroutines in the subroutine area.
Each subroutine begins with a label instruction and (when you want to exit
to your main program) ends with a return instruction. The subroutine area
serves as the end of the main program and defines the beginning of the
subroutine program (Figure 13.2).

Here general programming facts for the subroutine instruction:
Uses one word in the data table
Processor does not scan the instruction until you program a Jump to
Subroutine instruction.
Up to eight subroutines can be programmed if you do not program any
jump instructions.
You cannot nest subroutine programs by inserting a Jump to Subroutine
instruction in the Subroutine area.
It is possible to jump from one subroutine to another using a
Jump instruction.
