cancelling gosubs

[rossfree]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

If you GOSUB in a program, then you must have a RETURN... or you will still be in a GOSUB stack. You can divert the program to go do something else as you have stated... but you are effectively still in the GOSUB.

Sorta like leaving the toilette seat up in a house full of women. It can be done but I wouldn't recommend it.

My original question was "could I put the toilette seat down with a remote control" (so I wouldn't have to walk back to the bathroom).

or maybe it was...

could I GOSUB... then from somewhere else in the program... CANCEL the GOSUB (so I wouldn't have to RETURN to the line following the GOSUB). Diverting to another part of the program is still effectively leaving the GOSUB (toilette seat) open.

Thanks again for your reply...

...a remotely controlled 'johnny seat'... There's a product there somewhere. Probably need a safety switch... or... NOT. **evil laugh**

Hi All,

I was sniffing the net and I have found a quite interesting stack subroutine that the authors claims to let PBP do up to 48 nested gosubs.

The url is:

I haven't tested so I can't say if it really works or not but if it does , it's quite an improvement to write more structured programs.

Hope it can help.
