Is it possible to refer to a subprocedure in a function?
I am trying to use a variable that is referred to in a
function but is defined in a subfunction. I want the
variable to retain a value with the end of the function.

This is what I am trying to do:

Sub CalculateTotal()
total = timelapse + total
End Sub

Function Downtime(CurrentLoadSig, PrevLoadingSig,
PastTime, PresentTime)
'Calculates the amount of time lapsed for downtime

If CurrentLoadingSig = 0 Then
Select Case PrevLoadSig
Case Is = 0
timelapse = PrevTime - CurrentTime
Downtime = total
Case Is = 1
timelapse = PrevTime - CurrentTime
Downtime = total
Else
total = total * 0

End Function
