to jump to a subroutine / to enter a subroutine


Explanation:
Nothing against "to branch" but it really depends on the context.

Explanation:
This is perhaps a little better, for your context than "branch" or "jump". There is no subject for either of these verbs, as the German uses the subjectless passive. So either you must "invent" a subject, e.g. "the program branches/jumps", or you can use "control passes/ is transferred to".

neutral  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): Richard, the "Hauptprogramm" is the subject:-) // Hi Richard: Das Hauptprogramm (subject) verzweigt (verb) ins Unterprogramm.

  -> "Hauptprogramm" is governed by the preposition "im" and is in the dative case--so it can't be the subject.//I was talking about the construction in the actual text.
