Go Sub
The GoSub action task transfers the execution of the calling process to the specified
subprocess (see "About processes and subprocesses" on page125). When a process
encounters a GoSub action, it halts its own execution, start the subprocess and waits for it to
complete before resuming its workflow with the next task.
Every subprocess starts with a BeginSub input task and ends with a EndSub output task, both
of which have nothing to configure and cannot be replaced or deleted. The simply represents
entry and exit points for the subprocess.
Note
While it is possible to place a GoSub action within a subprocess, doing so will hide the
subprocess from any GoSub action, in order to avoid circular referencing (aka an infinite
loop).
Task properties
General Tab
l
Subprocess: Drop down list containing all the available subprocesses in the current
configuration.
l
Backup job file: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file for the main
process and the subprocess.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file
information for the main process and subprocess. Once the subprocess completes its
execution, the main process will retrieve the original job information values.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want to use the emulation selected when the job file
reaches the subprocess for the main process as well. Note that the emulation is not
passed from a main process to a subprocess or vice versa.
l
Retrieve subprocess error: Select if you want to receive error(s) from the subprocess in
order to handle them on its own.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
