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>

### append
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call.append" signature="append(schedule, name=None)">
Return a new [`Schedule`](qiskit.pulse.Schedule "qiskit.pulse.Schedule") with `schedule` inserted at the maximum time over all channels shared between `self` and `schedule`.
**Parameters**
* **schedule** (*Union\['Schedule', 'Instruction']*) Schedule or instruction to be appended
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Name of the new schedule. Defaults to name of self
**Returns**
A new schedule with `schedule` a this instruction at t=0.
**Return type**
[Schedule](qiskit.pulse.Schedule "qiskit.pulse.Schedule")
</Function>
### arguments
<Attribute id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call.arguments">
Parameters dictionary to be assigned to subroutine.
**Return type**
`Dict`\[`ParameterExpression`, `Union`\[`ParameterExpression`, `float`, `int`]]
</Attribute>
### assign\_parameters
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call.assign_parameters" signature="assign_parameters(value_dict)">
Store parameters which will be later assigned to the subroutine.
Parameter values are not immediately assigned. The subroutine with parameters assigned according to the populated parameter table will be generated only when `inline_subroutines()` function is applied to this instruction. Note that parameter assignment logic creates a copy of subroutine to avoid the mutation problem. This function is usually applied by the Qiskit compiler when the program is submitted to the backend.
**Parameters**
**value\_dict** (`Dict`\[`ParameterExpression`, `Union`\[`ParameterExpression`, `float`, `int`]]) A mapping from Parameters to either numeric values or another Parameter expression.
**Return type**
`Call`
**Returns**
Self with updated parameters.
</Function>
### assigned\_subroutine
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Call.assigned_subroutine" signature="assigned_subroutine()">
Returns this subroutine with the parameters assigned.
<Admonition title="Note" type="note">
This function may be often called internally for class equality check despite its overhead of parameter assignment. The subroutine with parameter assigned is cached based on `.argument` hash. Once this argument is updated, new assigned instance will be returned. Note that this update is not mutable operation.
</Admonition>

Attached program.
**Return type**
program (Union\[[Schedule](qiskit.pulse.Schedule "qiskit.pulse.Schedule"), [ScheduleBlock](qiskit.pulse.ScheduleBlock "qiskit.pulse.ScheduleBlock")])
