Just wondering if further consideration has been given to the below new feature request that I had suggested in the past ?  If so, any timing as to when it could appear in a future release ?

 
New Actions:
"GoSub" (Call SubProcedure)  --  And --  GoSub - Begin (Label Block)  and GoSub - End (Label Block) which would be "internal within the same WinAutomation Job":
 
New Action to "GoSub" (Perform or Call) a common set of actions that you have placed between your "GoSub - Begin and End Label Blocks" (Sub Procedure - Label) and then when the last action is completed and the End Block Label is executed, automatically return flow control to the actions following, after, your GoSub (Call Sub Procedure) Action.

Benefit:

....... This feature will eliminate the need of copying a set of actions to multiple sections of you job and then having a maintenance headache when you need to revise the same set of actions that you have placed in multiple sections of the job.

Re: New Actions - GoSub and GoSub - Begin/End Block

This is a feature that has been requested several times and will help clean up complicated job structures, so it will be added in the forthcoming releases of WinAutomation. However, in most cases, the specific feature will not be added in the next release, v3.1 (that is scheduled to be released within the next month), but in WinAutomation v4.
