# Call
<Class id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.45/qiskit/pulse/instructions/call.py" signature="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call(subroutine, value_dict=None, name=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: [`Instruction`](pulse#qiskit.pulse.instructions.Instruction "qiskit.pulse.instructions.instruction.Instruction")
Pulse `Call` instruction.
The `Call` instruction represents the calling of a referenced subroutine (schedule). It enables code reuse both within the pulse representation and hardware (if supported).
Define new subroutine.
<Admonition title="Note" type="note">
Inline subroutine is mutable. This requires special care for modification.
</Admonition>
<Admonition title="Deprecated since version 0.25.0" type="danger">
The class `qiskit.pulse.instructions.call.Call` is deprecated as of qiskit-terra 0.25.0. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. Instead, use the pulse builder function qiskit.pulse.builder.call(subroutine) within an active building context.
</Admonition>
**Parameters**
* **subroutine** (*Union\[*[*Schedule*](qiskit.pulse.Schedule "qiskit.pulse.Schedule")*,* [*ScheduleBlock*](qiskit.pulse.ScheduleBlock "qiskit.pulse.ScheduleBlock")*]*) A program subroutine to be referred to.

* **name** ([*str*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.12)") *| None*) Unique ID of this subroutine. If not provided, this is generated based on the subroutine name.
**Raises**
