2.6. Routines
Routines in ADL are represented by (what else?) sixteen
bit Routine IDs. The only operations allowed on routines
are calling them and passing them to other routines as
parameters. The syntax of ADL routines is described in
Chapter 6. The routine "START" is predeclared by ADL and
must be defined by the programmer or execution will be
prematurely terminated. The Routines "DWIMI" and "DWIMD"
are also predeclared by ADL and should be defined by the
programmer. DWIMI and DWIMD are called under circumstances
detailed in Chapter 4.
