To change the current flag states:
1. Enter the flag-state argument- see below
2. Execute STOF (!°L %MODES% %FLAG% L%STOF% ).
STOF sets the current states of flags based on the flag-state argument:
#n
Changes the states of only the system flags.

Example:
The program PRESERVE on page 2-6 uses RCLF and STOF.

Using Subroutines

Because a program is itself an object, it can be used in another program as a subroutine. When program B is
used by program A, program A calls program B, and program B is a subroutine in program A.
Example:
The program TORSA calculates the surface area of a torus of inner radius a and outer radius b.
TORSA is used as a subroutine in a second program TORSV, which calculates the volume of a torus.
The surface area and volume are calculated by
