• Specification of the call destination of a subroutine call instruction (CALL or CALLP) and a label (start
address of the subroutine program)
(3) Pointer types
There are the following two different pointer types.
• Local pointer (
The pointer used independently in each program
• Common pointer (
The pointer that can be called in all running programs by the subroutine call instruction.
