# Sub Statement

서브루틴을 지정합니다.

Sub, Function or Property statements are similar methods, without distinction. They receive parameters by reference allowing them to be modified in return. LibreOffice Basic compiler accepts their respective argument syntax to be used interchangeably.

### Syntax:

    [Private | Public] Sub name[(argument1 [As typename][, argument2[char][,...]])]
        ' statements
        [Exit Sub]
        ' statements
    End Sub

### Parameters:

name: Name of the subroutine.

arguments: Optional parameters that you want to pass to the subroutine.

##### argument fragment

          {[Optional [ByRef|ByVal]]|ParamArray} argument {{As typename|char}[ = expression]|[()]As Variant}

##### Parameters

Optional: The argument is not mandatory.

ByRef: The argument is passed by reference. ByRef is the default.

ByVal: The argument is passed by value. Its value can be modified by the called routine.

char: Type declaration character.

typename: Primitive data type name. Library or module defined types can also be specified.

= expression: Specify a default value for the argument, matching its declared type. Optional is necessary for each argument specifying a default value.

ParamArray: Use ParamArray when the number of parameters is undetermined. A typical scenario is that of a Calc user-defined function. Using ParamArray should be limited to the last argument of a routine.

UsingParamArray or = expression require Option Compatible to be placed before the executable program code in a module.

When using Option VBASupport 1, Optional arguments with no default value (= expression) are initialized according to their data type, except if Variant.

##### typename fragment

          {Boolean|Byte|Currency|Date|Double|Integer|Long|Object|Single|String|Variant}

##### char fragment

          { % | & | ! | # | $ | @ }

### Examples:

    Sub ExampleExit
    Dim sReturn As String
    Dim sListArray(10) As String
    Dim siStep As Single
        For siStep = 0 to 10 REM Fill array with test data
            sListArray(siStep) = chr$(siStep + 65)
            MsgBox sListArray(siStep)
        Next siStep
        sReturn = LinSearch(sListArray(), "B")
        Print sReturn
    End Sub

    Function LinSearch( sList(), sItem As String ) As Integer
    Dim iCount As Integer
    REM Linsearch searches a TextArray:sList() for a TextEntry:
    REM Return value is the index of the entry or 0 (Null)
        For iCount=1 To Ubound( sList() )
            If sList( iCount ) = sItem Then
                Exit for REM sItem found
            End If
        Next iCount
        If iCount = Ubound( sList() ) Then iCount = 0
        LinSearch = iCount
    End Function
