[CALL ABSOLUTE](CALL-ABSOLUTE) is used to access interrupts on the computer or execute assembly type procedures.

## Syntax

> [CALL ABSOLUTE](CALL-ABSOLUTE)([argumentList,] integerOffset)

## Legacy Support

* [CALL ABSOLUTE](CALL-ABSOLUTE) is implemented to support older code and is not recommended practice. To handle mouse input, the **use [_MOUSEINPUT](_MOUSEINPUT) and related functions**.

## Description

* [CALL](CALL) and parameter brackets are required in the statement.
* argumentList contains the list of arguments passed to the procedure.
* integerOffset contains the offset from the current code segment, set by [DEF SEG](DEF-SEG) and [SADD](SADD), to the starting location of the called procedure.
* **QB64** has the ABSOLUTE statement built in and requires no external library, like QuickBASIC did.
* **NOTE: QB64 does not support INT 33h mouse functions above 3 or [BYVAL](BYVAL) in an ABSOLUTE statement. Registers are emulated.**
