The CALL and DECLARE statements provide a simpler way to use assembly language with Visual Basic. See: ◄CALL[S] Statement (Non-Basic Procedures)► ◄DECLARE Statement (Non-Basic Procedures)► ■ Although arguments are passed as offsets, the machine-language program is invoked with a far call. ■ The offset% is not passed to the procedure. Your program may need to execute a DEF SEG statement before executing the Absolute routine to set the code segment for the called routine. ■ Using a noninteger value for offset% produces unpredictable results.
