HP HP-67 User Manual

Section 10
Subroutines
Often, a program contains a certain series of instructions that are
executed several times throughout the program. When the same set of
instructions occurs more than once in a program, it can be executed as
a subroutine. A subroutine is selected by the (go to subroutine)
operation, followed by a label address (£ through [&, (0] through
(8)); or by followed by () through (£]. You can also select a
subroutine with []—more about [f] later.
A or instruction transfers execution to the routine specified
by the label address, just like a instruction. However, after a
or instruction has been executed, when the running pro-
gram then executes a (return), execution is transferred back to
the next instruction after the (G55). Execution then continues sequen-
tially downward through program memory. The illustration below
should make the distinction between and more clear.
