CALL ABSOLUTE Invoke Subprogram or Assembly Subroutine
CALL ABSOLUTE ([arglist,]intvar)
Transfers control and (optionally) passes parameters to an assembly
language subroutine.
arglist Specifies one or more parameters to be passed to the
subroutine. Parameters must be separated by commas. Array
parameters should be specified by the array name followed
by empty parentheses.
intvar An integer variable. Specifies the address of the
subroutine as an offset within the current code segment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Your program should execute a DEF SEG statement before
calling the subroutine to ensure the code segment is
correct (or put the subroutine in DGROUP).
QuickBASIC uses 4-byte string descriptors, while
interpreted BASIC uses 3-byte descriptors. An assembly
subroutine that uses string arguments may therefore need
to be modified if it was originally written to run with an
interpreted program.
