Chapter 2 Program Instructions
EXECUTE
Field of Application Statement for executing a Fingerprint program line or a fi le with
Fingerprint program lines from within another Fingerprint program.
Syntax EXECUTE<sexp>
<sexp> is one line of Fingerprint instructions or the name of a fi le
containing at least one line of a Fingerprint program.
Remarks
This statement allows you to create a library of layouts, subroutines,
texts, etc, which can be executed as a part of a program without having
to merge the programs.
The program called by EXECUTE must not contain any line numbers
or line labels.
If the EXECUTE statement is followed by a string of Fingerprint instructions,
they should be separated by colons.
When an error occurs in an EXECUTE fi le, the line number in the error
message is that of the EXECUTE fi le, not of the program where the
EXECUTE statement is issued.
EXECUTE is only allowed in the execute mode, not in the immediate
mode (yields Error 69).
Recursive call of EXECUTE is not allowed (yields Error 78).
Example This example shows how a preprogrammed fi le containing a bar code
is executed as a part of a Fingerprint program, where the input data
and printfeed are added:
