Step 2 in the first vector gives the caller two options, each of which provides different information. The caller is prompted to enter either 1 or 2, depending on what information he or she wishes to hear. Once the caller enters a digit, the digit is collected by the collect digits command. Thereafter, an attempt is made by the route-to number command to route the call to the appropriate vector (Step 3 or 4). If the caller enters a digit other than 1 or 2, the appropriate announcement is provided (Step 5), and the digit entry cycle is repeated (Step 6).

Let’s suppose that the caller, when prompted, enters 1. In such a case, the second vector is accessed.

In Step 1 of this vector, the caller is given three options that supplement the original option provided in the first vector. The caller is prompted to enter either 3, 4, or 5, depending on what information he or she wishes to hear. If the caller enters an incorrect digit, the customary digit correction routine is implemented (Steps 5 and 6). Once an appropriate digit is entered, the call is routed—this time via use of a goto step command (Step 2, 3, or 4)—to the appropriate announcement (Step 7 or Step 9).

In Step 10 of the second vector, the caller is once again prompted. Specifically, the caller is given the choice of returning to the main menu provided in the first
