Node:The Procedure, Next:The Function, Up:Subroutine Declaration

##### The Procedure

    procedure procedure_identifier;
    declaration_part
    begin
      statement_part
    end;

or with a parameter list:

    procedure procedure_identifier (parameter_list);
    declaration_part
    begin
      statement_part
    end;

A procedure is quite like a sub-program: The declaration_part consists of label, constant, type, variable or subroutine declarations in free order. The statement_part consists of a sequence of statements. If parameter_list is specified, parameters can be passed to the procedure and can be used in statement_part. A recursive procedure call is allowed.
