    ■ name             The name of the SUB procedure, up to 40 characters
                       long, with no data type suffix.
    ■ parameterlist    One or more variables that specify parameters to be
                       passed to the SUB procedure when it is called:
 
                       variable[( )] [AS type] [, variable[( )] [AS type]]...
 
                       variable    A Basic variable name.
                       type        The data type of the variable (INTEGER,
                                   LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING, or a
                                   user-defined data type).
 
    ■ STATIC           Specifies that the values of the SUB procedure's
                       local variables are saved between function calls.
 
    ■ When you call the SUB procedure, you can specify that an argument's
      value will not be changed by the procedure by enclosing the argument
      in parentheses.
 
Example:
    The program REMLINE.BAS illustrates calling SUB procedures. To view or
    run this program, load REMLINE.BAS using the Open command from the File
    menu.
