# Subnetworks

A job network can be a subnetwork of another job network. This allows you to build nested networks.

The job type `NET` (subnetwork) allows you to define a whole network as a job within a main network. The subnetwork must already be defined. The same subnetwork can be defined in different jobs of the main network.

The subnetwork can be activated together with the calling network (or job of the type NET) or at the moment the job of the type `NET` is started.

Several active copies (or activations) of a network can work in parallel, since Entire Operations identifies each copy uniquely by its run number, which is automatically assigned to each network at activation time. Within subnetworks, other subnetworks can be called in turn. However, subnetworks must not be called in themselves, otherwise an infinite recursion would occur.

For further information refer to Maintenance Function for Subnetworks in the section Job Maintenance.
