Sub (Subroutine) Procedure Example

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use a subroutine procedure. A 'Call' statement should be used to invoke a subroutine procedure.

Here is a short example of subroutine procedure, function_sub.html:

<html>
<body>
<!-- function_sub.html

-->
<pre>
<script language="vbscript">
   Call Hello("Tom")
   Hello "Herong"

Sub Hello(sName)
   document.writeln("")
   document.writeln("Hello " & sName)
End Sub
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

Here is the output:


Hello Tom

Hello Herong

Notice the two different ways of calling a subroutine.
