This command is used to execute a Natural object module of type program. The object module must have been cataloged (that is, stored in object form) in the Natural system file or linked to the Natural nucleus. The execution of an object module does not affect the source code currently in the editor work area.
This document covers the following topics:
| EXECUTE | The keyword EXECUTE is
optional; it is sufficient to specify program-name,
i.e. the name of the program to be
executed.
Caution: |
|---|---|
| REPEAT | If the program being
executed produces multiple screen output and you wish the screens to be output
one after another without intervening prompts, you specify the keyword
REPEAT together with the keyword
EXECUTE.
|
| program-name | The name of the program to
be executed. If you do not specify a library-id,
Natural can only execute the specified program if it is stored either in your current library or in the
current steplib library (the default steplib is SYSTEM).
|
| library-id |
If the program is stored in another library, specify the library-id of that library. In this case, the program can only be executed if it is actually stored in the specified library. A library-id that begins with

When you execute a program by specifying the program name without
the keyword You can specify the parameters as positional parameters or as
keyword parameters, with the individual specifications separated from one
another by blanks or the input delimiter character (as specified with the
