Description
The subprogram of the specified number is called up and executed. A subprogram call can be made not only from a main program, but
from another subprogram as well. However, attempting to call another subprogram from a fourth-level subprogram of a main program
causes an error to be generated.
The times parameter indicates the number of calls. The subprogram is called and executed the number of times specified by this
parameter. When times is not specified, the subprogram is called once.
The number parameter indicates the program number of the subprogram. A four-digit number must be specified. For example, "0002"
is used to specify Program number 2. If a program of the specified number does not exist, an error is generated.
