Oh, good, it must be Friday,  (Wait, what's that?  It's not?  Drat.)

I'd probably call the set of instructions "linkage" instructions, or 
"program linkage" instructions.

When describing the logic flow to someone, I tend to say "call a 
subroutine" or "link to a subroutine", but I sometimes devolve to "branch 
and link to a subroutine" or "branch and save to a subroutine" for the 
first 6 instructions; I'd probably roll my eyes if someone tried quibble 
over save vs. link, branch vs. jump, etc.

For BASSM specifically, I'd say "BASSM to the routine".

[Get ready for the next question:  Do you pronounce "BASSM" as "bass-em" 
or "bazz-em"?]  ;-)
