 Create a subroutine (or subprogram) that will receive zero or more values and process those values.  A subroutine does not return a value back to the user, it just does what you want it to do.  Execution of a subroutine will terminate and control will be returned to the "[[call|call]]ing" program when a [[Return|Return]] statement is executed or by allowing the //End Subroutine// statement to be reached.  All variables used within the subroutine, that have not been previously declared as [[global|Global]], will be local to the subroutine and will not change the values in the calling code. Create a subroutine (or subprogram) that will receive zero or more values and process those values.  A subroutine does not return a value back to the user, it just does what you want it to do.  Execution of a subroutine will terminate and control will be returned to the "[[call|call]]ing" program when a [[Return|Return]] statement is executed or by allowing the //End Subroutine// statement to be reached.  All variables used within the subroutine, that have not been previously declared as [[global|Global]], will be local to the subroutine and will not change the values in the calling code.
