Invoke NCL Procedures

Procedures are invoked explicitly by using the EXEC and START commands, or implicitly by certain system functions such as EASINET and timer commands.

Optionally, variable parameters can be passed to the procedure when it is invoked. These variables are specified on the EXEC or START command following the name of the procedure being invoked. There is no limit to the number of variables that can be passed. Each word following the procedure name is passed in the next available variable, numbering from &1 for the first word, &2 for the second, and so on.

In VM systems the CMS minidisk that holds your product procedures must be reaccessed after the procedures have been altered, so that your product locates the new versions of the changed procedures.
