You only need to write the routine once, making the program more compact. The instruction for unconditional branching to subroutines is the GOSUB statement. After branching, the subroutine is PRINT "NOT EQUAL" 40 END 100 PRINT "EQUAL" 110 GOTO 40 RUN 18 Intermec Fingerprint Developer's Guide - Intermec PA30 | Fingerprint Developer's Guide (old) - Page 35
