ABSTRACT:
A processor for processing a program with commands, which has a mother program with a sub-program jump command and a sub-program, which is to be processed in response to the sub-program jump command. The processor has a command processor, which is adapted in the mother program upon occurrence of the sub-program jump command, to extract back-up information about data required in the mother program after processing the sub-program from the sub-program jump command, to back-up data required in the mother program after execution of the sub-program based on the back-up information, to extract a destination address from the sub-program jump command, which refers to the sub-program, and to effect the continuation of the processing of the program with the sub-program based on the destination address.
