STATEMENT: Sub
Sub
The
Sub
statement creates a subroutine, assigns a name, and allows you to list arguments which are to be passed into the subroutine.
The major difference between a subroutine and a function, is that a subroutine cannot return any value back to where it was called from.
As an option, subroutines can be declared
Private
or
Public
. You can call other subroutines and functions from within a subroutine (nesting). You must end every subroutine with
End Sub
or you will get an error message. One option for leaving a subroutine is to use
Exit
statements.
Code:
<% Sub aardvark %>
<% Rem you can place all of the code you desire inside a subroutine %>
<% End Sub %>
Code:
<% Private Sub aardvark %>
<% Rem you can place all of the code you desire inside a subroutine %>
<% End Sub %>
You can list more than one argument in the subroutine.
Code:
<%
Sub aardvark(myvar1, myvar2, mynumber, myarray)
Rem you can place all of the code you desire inside a subroutine
End Sub
%>
