The methodology of modular programming has received increased attention in which the most basic yet important part is the intermodule communication. Circumstances may dictate the use of assembly language in software development. However, linkage conventions at this level are generally lacking or unworkable. This paper proposes a calling sequence convention and a calling sequence handler for intermodule communication. This scheme is simple to use and enhances good programming practices, such as simplicity, flexibility, comprehensibility and integrity.
